FxWirePro: EUR/JPY finds major trendline support at 115.70, break below to see further weakness

  • Markets dominated by risk-off after North Korea warned of a nuclear strike should the US provoke them.
     
  • Yen supported by safe-haven flows in early Asia, but recovery in UST yields halted yen upside. 
     
  • EUR/JPY is trading a narrow range after slump on Tuesday. Doji formation seen on daily charts as we head into the EU session.
     
  • The pair has broken below 200-DMA and more slumps on cards.
     
  • We see major trendline support at 115.70, further weakness only on break below.
     
  • On the flipside, bearish invalidation if the pair retakes 200-DMA at 117.70.

Support levels - 115.70 (trendline), 114.89 (61.8% Fib retrace of 109.205 to 124.094 rally), 114.01 (Nov 3rd 2016 low)

Resistance levels - 116.65 (50% Fib), 117.09 (5-DMA), 117.70 (200-DMA)
