Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for Febuary 9, 2016

General overview for 09/02/2016:

A (a) (b) (c) corrective pattern in wave 2 stopped in the reversal zone between the levels of 128.20 and 128.50. The shape of the corrective cycle might be called an irregular flat correction, which is typical for wave 2. Currently, the market looks ready for reversal, but to confirm this, the price must break out back above the level of 129.70. Any failure to rally will result in more complex and time-consuming corrective cycle. Any breakout below the level of 126.08 will invalidate this bullish scenario.

Support/Resistance:

132.66 - WR2

132.32 - Local High

131.32 - WR1

130.66 - Weekly Pivot

130.03 - Intraday Resistance

129.34 - WS1

128.20 - Intraday Support

128.76 - WS2

127.29 - WS3

Trading recommendations:

We still expect the market to go upwards as an impulsive structure does not looks completed and the important bottom seems to be in place as well. This is why day traders should place buy orders as long as the level of 128.20 is not violated (SL below 128.20, TP open for now).
