💶 Unemployment in the Eurozone is falling - the latest reading on 3 November showed a drop to 6.6% compared to last reading of 6.7%.
💴 In Japan, on the other hand, unemployment rose from 2.5% to 2.6%.
💶 A week ago, on 17 November to be precise, the inflation reading, which was 10.7% on 31 October. The market is betting on a slowdown in inflation in the coming months.
💴 In the case of Japan, inflation is gaining momentum even though we have maintained a 3% growth the market is betting that during the next data due on 17 November we could break this barrier and rise to levels of 3.2%.
💶 Eurozone interest rates were raised by 75 basis points at the last council meeting on 27 October to 2%.
💴 In Japan, of course, no change, the council kept rates at -0.1% at its last meeting, but with inflation gaining momentum, further moves remain uncertain. For now, the market is pricing in an unchanged rate at the next decision on 22 November.
💶💴 Now that we know the fundamental environment, let's turn to the chart.
💶💴Today brought nothing new. We attacked the 145.400 level again and there was an unsuccessful attempt to go down to yesterday's lows.
💶💴All due to low volatility on the Japanese. And uncertainty as to which way the Euro should go.
💶💴 Looking more broadly at the market and seeing that the Japanese on most pairs is preparing for a massive appreciation and the Euro on most pairs is waiting for the right moment to make a correction of uptrend.
💶💴These 2 separate events combined in a single chart could produce the massive price waterfall I wrote about in the previous post.
💶💴On the chart I determined a few things using technical analysis:
💶💴Firstly I determined the upward channel we are currently in.
💶💴Then I measured the entire downward wave using the fibo. We can see a triple attack on the 0.618 level which we failed to break out of.
💶💴Next I measured the current upward impulse to find potential support zones.
💶💴Then I measured the largest correction of this upward impulse in order to determine the 1:1 level of this correction.
💶💴By measuring the current uptrend impulse and the 1:1 correction, I found an interesting cluster of levels at 0.618 and 1:1 near 143.600
💶💴In the vicinity of the 0.618 level I determined a strong resistance zone. Due to the fact that the price repeatedly tried to break out of this level unsuccessfully
💶💴The scenario I am playing out is the eur/jpy pair descending to support levels as a result of the Bank of Japan intervening to strengthen the Japanese Yen.
💶💴*Please do not suggest the path I have drawn with lines this is only a hypothetical scenario for further increases.
