Traded volume is a high and bearish sentiment of the market players is 15% short. Profits are very much likely as the rate has been trending lower.

Flat rate movement suggests no significant profits or losses can be expected. Euro/Yen has been calmer than usual – volatility is 48 pips and traded volume is extremely low. Most of the traders have been bullish in their expectations. Both the calm trading and flat rate movement are limiting factors.
