EUR/JPY is consolidating within a large wedge formation, but also remains in an uptrend as evidenced by the pair's bounce from trendline support at 127 on May 18. I'm ultimately looking to buy a break above 135 to target 148.07 (61.8% fib of 169.51-113.62). Things will be a bit more complicated if we see a break below 127 since there is strong support looming at congestion near the psychologically important 125 mark.

Recently Closed: My long USD/CAD position was stopped out for a loss of 93 pips as DXY index remains oversold. Waiting for a clearer sign of a turn higher in the US dollar before trying to buy USD/CAD again.
