EUR/JPY Preparing For Huge Move Higher

 

Yen denominated pairs have had a tough few weeks as continued depreciation and rampant speculation over central bank intervention has taken its toll. However, the EURJPY charts are starting to signal a potential breakout in progress that could set the pair up for some significant gains.

As the currency pair has continued to fall over the past few months, a number of large breakouts have occurred from the bottom of the channel. In each example, there has been a relatively consistent downtrend with lots of validation, before a breakout above the trend line results in a sharp climb to the top of the channel. Subsequently, keen traders will note that the past few sessions have resulted in a similar trade setup.

Taking a look at the 4-Hour chart demonstrates a similar pattern emerging towards the bottom of the constraining channel. Subsequently, a break of the short term bearish trend line could signal a significant and sharp bullish move. Further supporting the bullish contention is the emergence of some divergence within the MACD indicator that could be signalling a move ahead.

In fact, there is also a wave pattern apparent on the chart with price action currently within the “C” wave of the corrective structure. At this time, it looks as if the “C” has just completed and we could be facing the final D leg of the move. Subsequently, there is likely to be a small pullback ahead of any challenge to the trend line.
