Moreover, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near 120.80 on the hourly chart of EUR/JPY. The pair even settled above the 121.00 level and recently traded as high as 121.37.

It is currently correcting lower below the 121.20 level plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 120.04 low to 121.37 high. It seems like there is a short term breakout pattern forming with support near the 121.00 level.

If there is a downside break, the pair might correct towards the key 120.80 support level. The main support is near the 120.70 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 120.04 low to 121.37 high.

Therefore, dips in EUR/JPY towards the 120.80 and 120.70 levels are likely to find a lot of buying interest in the near term. On the upside, the pair might face hurdles near the 121.50 and 121.80 levels.

On the downside, there are a few important supports near the 135.10 and 135.00 levels. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 134.70 low to 135.66 high is also positioned near the 50 hourly simple moving average to act as a strong support above 135.00.

Moreover, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near 134.80 on the hourly chart. Therefore, dips towards the 135.00 and 134.80 levels are likely to find a strong buying interest in the near term.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the 135.40 level, above which the pair could climb higher towards the 135.70 and 136.00 levels in the coming sessions.
