Any more losses might call for a test of the 1.1840 support or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the 1.1795 low to 1.1877 high. The next major support is near the 1.1800 level or the 50 hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the pair is facing resistance near the 1.1880 level. The next major resistance is near the 1.1920 level. A clear break above 1.1920 might start a steady increase towards the 1.2000 resistance. The next major resistance above the 1.2000 level sits near the 1.2050 level.

EUR/JPY Technical Analysis Euro Yen

The pair declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 129.81 low to 130.43 swing high.

However, the pair is holding the key 130.15 support and the 50 hourly simple moving average. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 129.81 low to 130.43 swing high is also near the 130.12 level.

Besides, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near 129.95 on the hourly chart. If there is a downside break below the trend line support, the pair could dive towards the 129.50 support level in the near term.

On the upside, there is a key resistance forming near the 130.30 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line near 130.30 on the same chart.

A clear break above the trend line resistance might call for more gains above the 130.50 level. If the bulls succeed above 130.30 and 130.50, the pair could rally towards 131.20. The next major stop for the bulls may possibly be near the 131.80 level.
