Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for August 19, 2014

Today's support and resistance levels:

R3: 137.42

R2: 137.36

R1: 137.28

Current spot: 136.95

S1: 136.76

S2: 136.55

S3: 136.38

Technical summary:

This cross has been trading in a relatively narrow range since yesterday. We are still looking for a break below minor support at 136.76, which will add downside acceleration for a decline to 135.78 on the way lower towards the ideal target at 134.34, where wave C will be equal in length to wave C. At this point, only an unexpected break above 137.62 will indicate that a long-term bottom is in place.

Trading recommendation:

We are short in EUR at 137.30 with stop at 137.75. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell near 137.20 or upon a break below 136.76 with the same stop at 137.75.
