EUR/JPY bounced off 134.00

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The offered tone now accelerates around the Japanese yen, pushing EUR/JPY to the 134.30 area.

EUR/JPY clings to 134.00

The cross has found decent support in the vicinity of 134.00 the figure on Tuesday, helped by the increasing buying interest coming from USD/JPY. Despite the current rebound, the cross will remain under pressure via the EUR and its direct correlation with events coming from the Greek front.

“EUR/JPY is near term upside corrective and the Elliott wave count on the daily is suggesting that we allow for a deeper retracement into the 136.56/138.57 band”, suggested Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank.

EUR/JPY levels to watch

As of writing the cross is losing 0.03% at 134.23 and a break below 133.88 (200-h MA) followed by 133.68 9low Feb.9) and finally 232.57 (low Feb.5). On the upside, the immediate hurdle lies at 134.88 (21-d MA) ahead of 135.35 (high Feb.4) and then 135.88 (76.4% of 137.64-130.16).
