FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for August 22, 2014

Today's support and resistance levels:

R3: 138.76

R2: 138.45

R1: 138.01

Current spot: 137.84

S1: 137.78

S2: 137.58

S3: 137.37

Technical summary:

Well, nothing has really changed here. We are still left with two possible scenarios. One is calling for a final decline to 134.34, if resistance near 138.01 protects the upside. The other scenario is telling us that the bottom already is in place with the test of 135.73. We give more preferences to the first scenario calling for yet anothet decline towards the equally important target at 134.34. But then, we should ideally see resistance at 138.01 protecting the upside for a break below minor support at 137.78 and more importantly below 137.71 calling for renewed downside pressure. That said, as long as minor support at 137.78 protects the downside, we are alert to a firm break above 138.01 calling for a continuation higher towards 138.45 and higher.

Trading recommendation:

We will sell a break below support at 137.76 with a stop at 138.05.
