By Greg Holden <\/strong>– The recovery of the euro appears to have gotten underway, with previous psychological barriers being broken daily this week. We\u2019ve already seen breaches on the EUR\/USD<\/a>, EUR\/CHF, and the EUR\/CAD; it appears like we now have a breakout forming on the EUR\/JPY as well.<\/p>\n

This pair was flat for a number of months, but appears, as of the past week, to have broken out of its sideways trading behavior and is climbing higher.<\/p>\n

Technical Analysis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

– The chart below is the EUR\/JPY daily chart provided by ForexYard<\/a>. The indicators shown are the Relative Strength Index (RSI), MACD\/OsMA, and Fibonacci retracement lines were drawn.<\/p>\n

– As we can see in the chart, the price is currently testing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level and may possess the momentum to break past, as per our indicators and general market news.<\/p>\n

– Both the RSI and MACD are floating in neutral territory, but within a clear upward channel. While this doesn\u2019t provide us with the strongest indication of direction, it gives us an idea of the statistically average movement. More importantly, it does not<\/em> give us an indication that it will correct downward and re-enter the flat trading range.<\/p>\n

– Fundamentally speaking, the euro zone has recently seen a wave of bank stress tests<\/a> which regional banks appear to have no problem passing. Sentiment throughout Europe is improving and the euro is climbing steadily as a result. This has led to a boost in risk appetite which drives typical safe-havens (such as the JPY) downward.<\/p>\n

– If we see the price break through the 23.6% level, priced at 114.75, we may expect to see the price rising towards the next significant level at the 38.2% line, with a price target just below 120.00. For those interested, that\u2019s 500+ pips of profit with the proper trade<\/a>!<\/p>\n
