Daily Pivots: (S1) 120.01; (P) 120.56; (R1) 121.11; More…
EUR/JPY’s strong rally today and break of 121.32 resistance firstly confirms resumption of rise from 118.23. More importantly, this should confirm completion of the corrective fall from 124.08, after defending 118.45 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 109.20 to 124.08 at 118.39). Intraday bias is now back on the upside for a test on 123.30/124.08 resistance zone. Break will extend larger rally from 109.20 to next key resistance at 126.09. On the downside, break of 120.01 support is now needed to indicate completion of the rise from 118.23. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish in case of retreat.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 109.20 medium term bottom are seen as part of a medium term corrective pattern from 149.76. Strong rebound from 118.45 resistance turned support suggests that it’s still in progress. Break of 124.08 will target 126.09 key resistance level. We’d be cautious on strong resistance there to limit upside. However, sustained break there will be a strong sign of medium term momentum and could target 141.04 resistance next.
