Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for May 6, 2014

Today's Support and Resistance levels:

R3: 142.47

R2: 142.38

R1: 142.00

Current spot: 141.96

S1: 141.65

S2: 141.12

S3: 140.63

Technical summary:

We do expect imidiately downside pressure to emerge for a break below 141.65 and more importantly a break below 141.12 to confirm a continuation lower towards 140.08 as the next downside target. A break below 140.08 should accelerate the move lower towards 136.97. In the longer term we are still looking for a much deeper correction towards 126.00.

Trading recommendation:

Stay short in EUR from 141.68 with stop placed at 142.50. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell after a break below 141.65 with the same stop at 142.50.
