Key quotes

“EUR/JPY is at last easing back from two major levels of resistance – namely 130.33, the 200-month moving average and the 130.36 2008-2021 resistance line. These should hold and provoke failure.” 

“Initial support is the 20-day ma at 129.03 and the uptrend at 127.79. Below here lies the January high at 127.50 and key support near term remains the October and November highs at 125.13/09.” 

“Failure at 125.09 targets the 61.8% retracement at 123.87 and the seven- month uptrend at 124.01.”
