The immediate resistance area expands from the 100 SMA and the August 29 low between 159 and 160. From a technical perspective, the downtrend will likely resume if the EUR/JPY price holds below the immediate resistance.
In this scenario, the current bearish momentum can potentially retest 155.5 (September 16 Low), followed by the August low at 154.4.
