EUR/JPY dropped further to 120.78 last week but turned sideway after touching 120.78 support. Initial bias is neutral this week first. Larger decline from 127.50 should be ready to resume too. Firm break of 120.78 will confirm and target 118.62 low. On the upside, break of 122.32 resistance will extend the consolidation from 120.78 with another rise towards 123.35 resistance instead.
In the bigger picture, down trend from 137.49 is still in progress with the cross staying inside long term falling channel. Break of 118.62 will extend the fall to 109.48 (2016 low). On the upside, break of 127.50 resistance is needed to be the first sign of medium term reversal. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish in case of strong rebound.
In the long term picture, EUR/JPY is staying in long term sideway pattern, established since 2000. Fall from 137.49 is seen as a falling leg inside the pattern. Break of 118.62 will extend this falling leg through 109.48 (2016 low). With EUR/JPY staying below 55 month EMA, this is now the preferred case.
