EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Euro Resumes Down Trend

Talking Points:

  • EUR/JPY Technical Strategy: Short at 135.25

  • Support: 132.04, 129.17, 126.86

  • Resistance:133.81, 137.64, 139.95

The Euro turned lower against the Japanese Yen as expected after putting in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 132.04, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 129.17-130.13 area (38.2% level, January 26 low). Alternatively, a reversal back above the 133.54-81 zone (14.6% Fib, January 20 low) clears the way for a challenge of the 136.68-137.64 region (trend line support-turned-resistance, February 12 high, 38.2% Fib retracement).
