EUR/JPY rally capped on the 137 handle
FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/JPY is trading at 136.97, up 0.19% on the day, having posted a daily high at 137.21 and low at 136.61.
EUR/JPY at 137.20 was too far too soon for the pair after the rally from the base of a 3-month down channel at 135.48. Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank explained,“The market is bouncing but should remain capped by the top of its 3-month channel at 138.01. We remain overall bearish and targets are the 133.50/23.6% retracement of the entire move from 2012-2013 en route to 130.00. Above 138.01, key resistance lies at 140.00/36, the 2014 downtrend”.
