Wave summary:
EUR/JPY has barely moved into a dull holiday Market.

From 137.37 or upon a direct break below 133.57 renewed downside pressure towards 131.14 is expected on the way towards the ideal (E)-wave target seen at 123.43.

NZD/USD is expected to trade with bullish bias above 0.7010. The pair remains supported by its rising trend line and is likely to post a new rebound. Besides, a strong support base at 0.7010 has formed and should limit any downward attempts. Last but not least, the relative strength index is above its neutrality area at 50.
To sum up, as long as 0.7010 is not broken, likely advance to 0.7080 and 0.7100 in extension.

GBP/JPY is expected to trade with a bullish outlook. The pair remains upside above the key support at 151.00. Besides, the 20-period moving average has moved up, and also has crossed above the 50-period one (a positive signal).

Therefore, as long as 151.00 holds on the downside, look for a new target to 151.75 and 152.00 in extension.
Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a short position is recommended below 151.00 with the target at 150.75

Fundamental Analysis for EUR/JPY for December 27, 2017
2017-12-27
EUR/JPY is currently residing below the resistance area of 134.50 which is expected to push the price lower in the coming days. JPY has been quite positive with the recent economic reports which helped the currency to gain good momentum over EUR while most of the activities in EUR is currently on pause due to the observance of holidays. Today JPY Housing Starts report was published with a better value of -0.4% from the previous negative value of -4.8% which was expected to be at `-2.5%. Though the positive economic report today was not quite handy for the JPY to sustain the impulsive momentum it had yesterday. On the other hand, today we do not have any EUR economic reports to be published but tomorrow EUR Economic Bulletin is going to be held which is expected to have minimal impact on the gains of EUR against JPY and on Friday we have German Prelim CPI, Spanish Flash CPI and M3 Money Supply where the forecasts are quite mixed and do not provide any hint on upcoming strengthening of EUR. As of the current scenario, JPY is expected to gain momentum whether for a certain period until EUR starts to provide high impact economic reports with positive results after the New Year Holiday is over.
Now let us look at the technical view, the price is currently residing below the 134.50 resistance area which was expected to push the price lower in the coming days towards 131.50 area in the coming days. The price has recently pushed higher above the 134.50 area but could not sustain the gains leading to a result of False Break and as the price remains below the 135.00 resistance area, which is the highest peak of the false break, the bearish bias is expected to continue further.
Fundamental Analysis of USD/CAD for December 27, 2017
2017-12-27
USD/CAD is currently quite bearish, having 1.27 support level cleared with a daily close which opened the doors for the price to proceed much downward in the coming days. CAD has been quite positive with the gains recently despite a lack of any economic reports or events to support its recent gains, but it seems like the weakness of USD is the working factor in this case. USD has been quite weaker recently amid mixed economic reports which made the US currency lose ground against other rival currencies. Today, US CB Consumer Confidence report is going to be published which is expected to decrease to 128.2 from the previous figure of 129.5 and Pending Home Sales is expected to be negative at -0.4% from the previous value of 3.5%. The economic reports from the US are quite negatively forecasted. If that happens, then CAD is going to dominate further in the coming days until the US comes up with any positive economic reports or events to help it regain the momentum it has lost recently.
Now let us look at the technical chart. The price is currently hovering below the 1.2700 event level which held the price earlier. However, this time the price had a break with a daily close below the level which indicates that the price is going to proceed much lower towards 1.2450 in the coming days. As the price remains below 1.27 with a daily close, the bearish bias is expected to continue further.
