Key Quotes

“EUR/JPY charted an inside day yesterday and this does reflect a loss of downside pressure. We would allow for a near term rebound, but this is likely to find good near term resistance offered by the 127.57 August 2017 low and the 128.96 March low”.

“There is scope for a slide to the 124.08 December 2016 high. Between here and the 50% retracement at 123.40 we expect to see some profit taking. Below here would target 120.10/00”.
