EUR / JPY Technicals – Bearish Breakout as Price below 117.60

Hourly Chart

EUR/JPY traded below the upward trendline during early US trading yesterday. 117.6 provided interim support but price wasn’t able to break back into the trendline, forming a Shooting Star with the tail touching the trendline. Current price has finally breached 117.6 and tested 117.0 round number briefly. Keep a lookout for the possibility of a 2nd Bearish Confirmation along 117.6 for gains in bearish momentum. A move back above 117.60 will once again open up trading range up to 120.0.
