EUR/JPY Weekly Outlook

EUR/JPY rebounded to 130.14 last week but failed to taken out 130.20 resistance and retreated sharply. As the cross stays above 128.60 minor support, initial bias stays neutral this week first. On the downside, break of 128.38 minor support should confirm that rebound from 126.63 has completed. Then, intraday bias should be turned back to the downside for 126.63 first. On the upside, sustained break of 130.20 will pave the way back to 133.12 high instead.

In the bigger picture, as long as 124.08 key resistance turn supported holds, larger up trend from 109.03 (2016 low) is still in progress. Firm break of 137.49 structural resistance will target 141.04/149.76 resistance zone next. However, decisive break of 124.08 will argue that such rise from 109.03 has completed and turn outlook bearish. In that case, deeper fall would be seen to 61.8% retracement of 109.03 to 137.49 at 119.90.

In the long term picture, at this point, EUR/JPY is staying in long term sideway pattern, established since 2000. Rise from 109.03 is seen as a leg inside the pattern. As long as 124.08 support holds, further rally is in favor in medium to long term through 149.76 high. However, break of 124.08 could extend the fall through 109.03 low instead.
