Talking Points:

  • EUR/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 145.59, 143.40, 141.63
  • Resistance: 147.76, 149.11, 151.30

The Euro has transitioned into digestion mode having declined as expected against the Japanese Yen following the appearance of a Shooting Star candlestick. A daily close above the 14.6% Fibonacci expansionat 147.76 exposes the 23.6% level at 149.11. Alternatively, a reversal below the 23.6% Fib retracement at 145.59 opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% threshold at 143.40.

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