EUR/JPY surged to as high as 137.49 last week. Break of 136.63 indicates up trend resumption. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 100% projection of 132.04 to 136.63 from 134.12 at 138.71 first. On the downside, break of 134.12 support is needed to indicate near term reversal. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish in case of retreat.
In the bigger picture, medium term rise from 109.03 (2016 low) is seen as at the same degree as the down trend from 149.76 (2014 high) to 109.03 (2016 low). It should be targeting 141.04/149.76 resistance zone. On the downside, break of 132.04 support is needed to indicate medium term reversal. Otherwise, outlook will stay bullish in case of deep pull back.
In the long term picture, at this point, there is no clear indication that rise from 109.03 is resuming that from 94.11 (2012 low). Hence, we’d be cautious on topping below 149.76 to extend range trading. Nonetheless, firm break of 149.76 will indicates strong underlying buying. In such case, EUR/JPY will target 100% projection of 94.11 to 149.76 from 109.03 at 164.68.
