30.09.201210:59 Forex Analysis & Reviews: EUR/JPY Intraday Technical Analysis

The spot rate approaches the upper limit of its medium-term bearish channel at 100.50 suggesting a decline. However, a break of these levels will free a large potential and initiate a violent bullish channel.
Technical indicators do not provide clear signals but, until the resistance is not broken, the assumption of a decline is most likely. Bollinger bands have greatly tightened in recent days showing a decline in volatility and the imminence of a violent movement. The spot rate evolves on the levels of the superior band supporting the hypothesis of a violent movement in case of failure.
The spot rate is currently testing the upper limit of its channel, we suggest 2 scenarios: the first one is the hypothesis of a decline where we recommend a sell on the level of 100.50 with the 1st objective at 99.80 and then at 99.60. A breakthrough of 100.70 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is a break of its resistance where we advise a “buy stop” which means to buy the spot rate as soon as it is broken through its resistance of 100.50 with the 1st objective at 101.10 and then at 101.30. A breakthrough of 100.30 will invalidate this scenario.
