EUR/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 116.52; (P) 117.06; (R1) 117.45; More

EUR/JPY's fall from 117.74 extends further today and the break of 115.89 minor support indicates that rebound from 113.49 has completed. More importantly this suggests that price actions from 113.41 are merely consolidation to fall from 123.31 and has completed with three waves to 117.74 already. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 113.41/49 first. Break will confirm fall resumption to 61.8% projection of 123.31 to 113.41 from 117.74 at 111.62 first. On the upside, break of 117.74 resistance is needed to invalidate this view or we'll stay cautiously bearish.

Trade Idea: USD/CAD – Sell at 0.9700

As the greenback has recovered after yesterday’s fall to 0.9580, minor consolidation would be seen and retracement to 0.9650 is likely, however, as wave 4 top has been formed at 0.9914 last week, upside should be limited to 0.9695-00 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9884-0.9580) and bring another decline later. A breach of said support would extend weakness to key support at 0.9513, however, break there is needed to signal wave 5 is underway
