EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Long-entry to target descending resistance for reversal to target 38.2% Fibo

  • EUR/JPY found tough resistance at the 23.6% Fibo of the 2019  range and cloud  top.
  • A break there opens trend line resistance guarding a break towards the 200-DMA (blue on the chart below) at 127.80.    
  • On a break of 124.90 opens risk of a subsequent test of trend line support guarding the 38.2% Fibo.
  • Below 123.40 (Jan 7 and Jan 15 lows) opens of the 50% Fibo at 123.02.
  • A break there will likely see the price continue in its southerly trajectory, extending last September’s  bear trend.

  • However, in the near term, daily candles  are aligned  bullish in a rising channel and hourly stochastics are oversold.
  • The  price at the bottom of an hourly rising wedge formation  as price holds above the 200-hr SMA on a third downside attempt.
  • Typically, the price would revert back to the top of the rising wedge and in this case, above recent tops through 125.70.
  • A followthrough opens the case for a test of the descending  resistance line to challenge the 126 handle – A bear’s dream entry point with sights on a reversal back to the 38.2% Fibo target at the 124 the figure.
