EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls break to fresh cycle highs in relentless weekly demand

  • EUR/JPY bulls face prospects of a significant correction ahead od the target. 
  • The Momentum is strong with the pair, as the US dollar pulls back.  

The US dollar has stalled and the euro has corrected higher. 

As per the prior analysis, EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls need a break, well, that is exactly what they got. 

Prior analysis

''Bulls need to get over the initial resistance and the 21-moving average.''

4-hour chart

On a retest of the 21-moving average and/or the structure, a buy limit order will open a position for a 1:3 risk to reward set up to target the 130.40s.

EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls seeking daily upside continuation

This wick would be expected to be filled in as it merely represents the daily correction to prior resistance which has held the initial tests of a decelerating retracement...

Live market, weekly chart

As can be seen, the market has indeed filled in the wick. 

Meanwhile, there could some further commitments from the bears at this juncture and a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement to prior highs could be on the cards before further upside. 

Daily chart

We have a risk in the W-formation on a daily which is a bearish pattern. The price could be due for a correction.

Traders have the option of taking profit in full or raising the stop loss to below a 50% mean reversion and the support structure, or a bit of both. 

On the other hand, bulls may be inclined to keep 100% of the position open considering it is a risk-free bet at this juncture and stick to the trade plan's target.
