“EUR/JPY bounced higher yesterday but overcome no resistance of note, leaving our overall negative outlook unchanged. It has failed 3 times in the past 2 months at 134.58 and this is viewed very negatively. We look for rallies to fail circa 132.50/75 and ideally we would like to see a close below the base of the cloud at 130.98 to confirm losses to 128.50 and the 127.57 August low”.

“Intraday Elliot wave counts are still suggesting scope to retest 134.58”.
