The EUR/USD stands pretty much unchanged after the FED not only announced another $10B reduction in their facility programs, but stated that another $10B will be taken in upcoming February meeting. The hourly chart shows price moved in between the trend lines that form a triangle, with the base around 1.3630 and the roof now at 1.3675. Indicators in the same time frame remain flat around their midlines, showing no real clues on direction for now. The 4 hours chart maintains a slightly negative tone, but price holds above 200 EMA, converging with the base of the figure in the 1.3630 area. Sentiment will likely lead the way in upcoming hours, with risk aversion favoring dollar and yen gains.

The EUR/JPY bounced some from a lower low posted at 139.03 right after the news, but maintains the negative short term tone, capped below US session highs around 139.70. The hourly chart shows momentum still heading south below its midline, while moving averages gain bearish slope well above current price. The pair has managed to bounce from the 139.00 level past week, establishing for now a double floor in the area, but that’s not a guarantee of upcoming strength: if below it, expect the pair to extend its fall to 138.20 in the short term.
Support levels: 139.00 138.50 138.20
