Talking Points:

  • EUR/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 138.12, 137.17, 136.22
  • Resistance: 139.30, 140.03, 141.21

The Euro resumed its descent against the Japanese Yen, with prices touching the weakest level in three weeks. A daily close below the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 138.12 exposes the 137.17-43 area marked by a formerly broken channel top and the 50% level. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 139.30 clears the way for a test of the 14.6% expansion at 140.03.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind we will remain flat for now.
