On Monday, the market usually lacks volatility and shows sideways movements. But today, the scenario is a bit different. It's nonfarm payroll (NFP) week my friends, and the market is pricing in the forecast of U.S. labor market figures. Considering the uncertainty related to USD pairs, we have an option to position our investments into cross currency pairs. Let's take a look at EURJPY.

On the same chart, the pair is struggling to cross the 50- periods EMA at $1.32.700 on the bearish side.
