FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for May 4 - 2016

Wave summary:

With the break above short-term resistance at 122.95, the odds favor an important bottom is in place at the 121.66 low. We will now be looking for a new impulsive rally that will ultimately take us back above the 141.06 top.

The corrective decline from 141.06 has been very erratic and very difficult to read. However, the clear loss of downside momentum we have seen lately is telling us that the downside potential is limited and the corrective decline from 149.79 is either coming or has just ended.

Trading recommendation: We are long from 122.95 and will lift our stop to 122.05. If you are not long in EUR yet, then buy near 122.95 and use the same stop at 122.05
