EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: JPY cross charted a falling wedge amid rising trade tensions
|- The EUR/JPY cross has charted a big falling wedge pattern over the last ten days amid rising trade tensions between the US and China.
- The US is considering imposing a levy on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports, having imposed a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion Chinese imports in July. More importantly, Beijing has vowed t retaliate in kind.
- As a result, the EUR/JPY looks set to test the wedge support of 127.88 (50% Fib R of 124.90/130.87).
- A bullish falling wedge breakout would signal a revival of the rally from the Aug. 15 low of 124.90 and would allow a re-test of the Aug. 30 high of 130.87.
