FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for August 29, 2016

Wave summary:

We waited a long time for the break above 114.03. On Friday our patience finally was rewarded with the expected break above this resistance, which calls for a continuation higher to 116.19 and 118.58 as the next upside targets. Longer term, we are looking for much higher levels as the long-term corrective decline from 149.56 completed with the test of 109.48 and a new impulsive rally now is building.

Support is seen at 113.11 and should protect the downside for the rally to 116.19 and above.

Trading recommendation:

We are long EUR from 114.05 and will move our stop higher to 113.05. If you are not long EUR yet, then buy near 114.05 or upon a break above 114.81 and use the same stop at 113.05
