EUR/JPY Weekly Outlook

EUR/JPY rose strongly to as high as 127.50 last week before closing at 127.19, as rise from 118.62 extended and accelerated. Initial bias remains on the upside for 61.8% retracement of 137.49 to 118.62 at 130.28 next. On the downside, break of 126.60 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first. But downside of retreat should be contained by 124.23/125.95 support zone to bring rise resumption.

In the bigger picture, current development argues that medium term decline from 137.49 (2018 high) has completed with three waves down to 118.62 already. Decisive break of 133.12 resistance will confirm this bullish case. And whole up trend from 109.03 (2016 low) might resume through 137.49 in that case. On the downside, break of 124.23 support will invalidate this case and turn focus back to 118.62 instead.

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 and could have completed. Break of 133.12 resistance will likely send EUR/JPY through 137.49 towards 149.76 (2014 high).
