FX.co ★ EUR/JPY Intraday Technical Analysis

The spot rate is currently testing the upper limit of its medium-term bearish channel at 106.50 suggesting a decline. However, a break of these levels will initiate a violent bullish channel.
Technical indicators do not provide clear signals, but until the resistance is not broken the assumption of a decline is most likely. Bollinger bands are much discarded as a result of a strong increase these days. Stabilization is expected in the short term.
The spot rate is currently testing the upper limit of its channel, we suggest 2 scenarios. The first one is the hypothesis of a decline where we recommend a sell on the level of 106.50 with the 1st objective at 105.90 and then at 105.70. A breakthrough of 106.70 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is a break of its resistance where we advise a “buy stop” which means to buy the spot rate as soon as it is broken through its resistance of 106.50 with the 1st objective at 107.10 and then at 107.30. A breakthrough of 106.30 will invalidate this scenario.
