FxWirePro: EUR/JPY rejected at session highs, good to go short on rallies

  • Financial markets will remain closed across Europe, major risk-off which is support safe-haven yen demand is driving price action in the pair.
     
  • Risk-off dominates amid tensions in the Korean peninsula and as US bombing Afghanistan continue to spook markets.  
     
  • EUR/JPY edges lower from session highs at 116, bias heavily bearish.
     
  • The pair finds strong trendline support at 115.70, break below could see drag upto 114.89.
     
  • Momentum studies are heavily bearish, but RSI and Stochs are deeply in oversold territory so some caution advised.
     
  • Weekly charts are also heavily bearish and so we would use upticks as opportunity to go short.

Support levels - 115, 114.89 (61.8% Fib retrace of 109.205 to 124.094 rally), 114.01 (Nov 3rd 2016 low)

Resistance levels - 116.28 (5-DMA), 116.65 (50% Fib), 117.74 (200-DMA)
