EUR/JPY
The Greek factor drives the euro this week. BOJ monetary policy meeting minutes are due on Tuesday. The retail sales index y/y is expected to be published on Wednesday. Tokyo core CPI y/y and National core CPI y/y are due on Thursday. As Japanese retail sales have been disappointing for a while, we express the same view this time as well. The unemployment rate and national core CPI data are expected to be optimistic.

Bull's last hope lies at 131.15 50Dsma. Big distribution pattern and head and shoulder have been forming in the four-hour chart. In case the price closes below 133.00, we will conclude that the near and medium terms are capped. The cross favors selling on rise. The selling range is set between 134.75 and 135.15 sl 135.35.
