The rebound from this correctional level enables the pair to swing towards the yen and start dropping in the direction of the level of correction 61.8% - 104.79. Consolidation of the quotes above the level of Fibonacci 76.4% allows the pair to continue growing to the level of correction 100.0% - 111.40. If a bearish candlestick pattern is formed then it will increase the possibility that the rebound from the level of correction 76.4% of Fibonacci and drop of the EUR/JPY rate on the daily chart will be observed.

4h

After the bullish engulfing pattern was formed the quotes rose to the level of correction 161.8% - 107.20 and it has been still for the second day.
