Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for August 26, 2014

Today's support and resistance levels:

R3: 137.67

R2: 137.47

R1: 137.30

Current spot: 137.12

S1: 137.01

S2: 136.81

S3: 136.61

Technical summary:

We have seen a break below the minor support line from 135.73, which is the first strong indication that the final wave v decline towards 134.34 is unfolding, but we still need a break below 136.81 to confirm that wave v is indeed developing for the expected decline towards the equality target between wave A and C at 134.34. Only a break above resistance at 137.91 will invalidate the bearish count and call for a rally higher to 140.07.

Trading recommendation:

We are short in EUR from 137.75 with stop placed at 137.70. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell near 137.30 with the same stop at 137.70.
