Talking Points:

  • EUR/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 140.54, 139.97, 139.40
  • Resistance:141.24, 142.38, 143.52

The Euro has transition into consolidation mode above the 140.00 figure after sinking to a two-month low against the Japanese Yen. Near-term support is at 140.54, the 138.2% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 150% level at 139.97. Alternatively, a turn above the 123.6% Fib at 141.24 clears the way for a challenge of the 100% expansion at 142.38.

An actionable trade setup is absent at this point, arguing against committing to a directional bias on long or short side. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a clear-cut trading opportunity to present itself in the days ahead.
