Talking Points:

• EUR/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 134.83, 133.91, 133.00

• Resistance:135.96, 136.66, 137.79

The Euro declined against the Japanese Yen as expected after prices put in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 134.83, the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 133.91. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% level at 135.96 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% Fib at 136.66.

Prices are wedged too closely between near-term support and resistance levels to justify taking a trade on a long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will continue to stand aside until a more attractive opportunity presents itself.
