The euro/yen currency pair is one of the most popular and most actively traded pairs in the forex market. Keen interest in it primarily stems from the fact that these currencies represent different economic regions of the world. For this reason, trading the EUR/USD pair is characterized by a number of special features. In addition, the factors affecting the rates of these currencies are too dissimilar. This makes trading more interesting, thereby boosting the demand for the pair among investors. According to the market rules, the first place in the pair is occupied by the high-yield Europe's common currency. The low-yield yen acts as a quoted currency. That is why it comes second. In other words, their ratio indicates how many yens are needed to purchase one euro. As for the pair's features, one should note its dynamic and erratic nature. Its volatility is extremely high, which attracts experienced traders. Beginners are recommended to refrain from using it as the instrument is too complex and challenging in terms of analysis. To navigate the dynamics of the currency pair, you need to learn to take into account a massive amount of fundamental and technical data. Moreover, even the savviest experts at the world's leading financial centers are rarely able to make an accurate forecast of the quotes. The only thing that is possible to predict is the pair's general direction. In this regard, market participants often have to follow their gut rather than technical factors. The second feature of the euro/yen currency pair is sharp spikes in the yen which make trading both more profitable and risky. Moreover, the exchange rate of the European currency to the Japanese yen becomes particularly choppy amid global turmoil or a sharp reduction in risk appetite as well as its loss. The third feature implies the pair's dependence on the American currency. Although this is a cross pair that omits the US dollar, the dynamic of the greenback has an impact on the euro/yen pair. Thus, to make a clearer analysis, you need to know the way the US currency is traded. As a result, brokers set a relatively high spread for this pair, which ranges from 3 to 5 pips. Many countries of the world use the yen as a reserve currency. That is why its value rises amid some negative news regarding the euro or the US dollar. However, the Japanese government takes measures against too much strength of its national currency and conducts interventions but does not inform market participants about them in advance. Against this background, only stop loss orders can protect you from sudden losses. The yen becomes highly volatile when night falls in Europe. This makes it extremely difficult to predict the pair' movement. Because of its volatility, the EUR/JPY currency pair even earned the nickname "beast". The most preferred strategy for working with this currency pair is a carry trade. However, the popularity of this method has decreased dramatically due to the economic crisis, thereby affecting the currency pair itself.
