FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for August 17, 2017

Wave summary:

What looked like upside acceleration, was invalidated almost as quickly and support at 128.89 now needs to protect the downside for a break above 129.83 to confirm renewed upside pressure towards 131.40 on the way towards the ideal wave D-target at 137.36.

If support at 128.89 fails to protect the downside, that would call for a more downside pressure towards 127.00 and maybe even closer to 125.08.

R3: 130.82

R2: 130.40

R1: 129.83

Pivot: 129.50

S1: 129.14

S2: 128.89

S3: 128.53

Trading recommendation:

Our stop at 129.35 was hit. We will go with a break of either resistance at 129.83 or support at 128.89.
