Talking Points:
- EUR/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 128.58, 127.63, 126.08
- Resistance:129.27, 130.13, 131.38
The Euro resumed its recovery against the Japanese Yen, with prices moving to challenge the bounds of the down trend established from mid-February. Near-term trend line resistance is at 129.27, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 130.13. Alternatively, turn below the 23.6% level at 128.58 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% Fib at 127.63.
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.
