By FX Empire Analyst - Christopher Lewis:
The EUR/JPY pair rose during the week, slamming into the 130 handle again. We still believe that this pair is in an uptrend, and it is simply taking a bit of a break for the summer. That being the case, we are more than willing to buy on a break above the 130 level based upon a daily close. However, real traction in this pair will be picked up until we get above the 133 handle, something that doesn’t look likely in the next couple of weeks considering the fact that we are in the dead of summer.

As for the Monday 19th daily forecast:
The EUR/JPY rose during the session on Friday, but struggled at the 130 handle as you can see. This is a level that has been hotly contested recently, and as a result it does not surprise us to see the market gravitate towards it, but not really be able to break free of it. On a move above 131 though, we think this market will head the 133. On pullbacks we find this market interesting, and would buy supportive candles all the way down to the 128 handle in the immediate future. Below there, we feel that the 125 level is the floor in the market as well.
