FX.co ★ Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for November 17, 2014

General overview for 17/11/2014 07:40 CET:

Five wave impulsive sequence might be completed here at the level of 146.51. Now, at least three wave corrective cycles should start, but the confirmation comes first with the level of 144.71 breakout. Then, intraday golden trend line breakout would be possible as well. Nevertheless, the last wave to the upside might not have been completed as blue wave 4 is still a rather small corrective wave when compared to the other corrective cycle inside the progression. That would mean, the current downward wave might be purple wave c of the overall quite irregular flat corrective cycle in blue wave 4. Traders need to wait until the market confirms/invalidates this scenario.

Support/Resistance:

149.04 - WR2

148.01 - WR1

146.51 - Swing High

145.02 - Weekly Pivot

144.71 - Technical Support

143.93 - WS1

Trading recommendations:

It looks that at least in the short term the market favours the sell side and this kind of orders should be placed in this pair. The SL level should be placed above the level of 146.51 and TP at the level of 143.32.
