EUR/JPY rose sharply to as high as 119.78 last week and the strong break of 115.96 resistance indicate that the medium term trend has revised. Initial bias will remain on the upside this week for 100% projection of 106.57 to 115.53 from 113.54 at 122.50 next. On the downside, below 118.21 minor support suggest that a temporary top is formed and turn bias neutral to bring consolidations. But downside should be contained above 115.53 resistance turned support and bring another rise.
In the bigger picture, the strong break of 115.96 resistance, as well as the 55 weeks EMA is taken as the first signal that medium term correction from 2008 high of 169.96 has completed with three waves down to 105.42 already. Sustained trading above mentioned 38.2% retracement of 139.21 to 105.42 at 118.33 affirms this case Focus now turns to 139.21 key resistance level for confirmation (which is close to 50% retracement of 169.96 to 105.42 at 137.69). On the downside, break of 113.54 support is needed to invalidate this view. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish.
In the long term picture, up trend from 88.96 (00 low) has completed at 169.96 and made a long term top there. Based on the five wave structure of the rise from 88.96 to 169.96, we're favoring that fall from 169.96 is corrective in nature. It should develop into a three wave correction with first wave completed at 112.10, second wave completed at 139.21. The third wave might be finished at 105.42 already. Sustained break of 139.21 resistance should pave the way to retest 169.96 high next.
