FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for May 8, 2014

Today's Support and Resistance levels:

R3: 142.47

R2: 142.09 (critical level)

R1: 141.74

Current spot: 141.71

S1: 140.99

S2: 140.23

S3: 139.15

Technical summary:

The continued range trading is frustrating, but it does not change our view of more downside pressure as long as the critical level at 142.09 protects the upside. However, to get some real downside pressure we still need a break below support at 140.99, which would call for continuation lower towards 140.23 and likely even lower towards 136.97 in the longer term.

Trading recommendation:

Stay short in EUR from 141.68 with your stop placed at 142.15. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell near 141.74 with the same stop at 142.15.
