Bearish Engulfing Candle

EURJPY TECHS
  • The technical pattern focus today is on EURJPY
  • The broader outlook remains bullish. However, yesterday's price action highlights a potential short-term top and the possibility of a corrective pullback.
  • In patterns terms, the focus is on a Japanese bearish engulfing reversal candle pattern.
  • This highlights a short-term top and opens 127.04, Feb 15 low. A break of 127.04 would allow for a deeper pullback.
  • Key resistance has been defined at 128.46. A break higher would negate the bearish pattern and resume the underlying uptrend.
  • Note too that Tuesday's shooting star bearish candle pattern in EURUSD, is significant too. If both patterns in EURJPY and EURUSD result in short-term weakness this would suggest USDJPY consolidates near-term. The trend in USDJPY remains bullish and a consolidation would represent a pause in the uptrend.
