EUR/JPY clears 164.60 resistance, MACD signals renewed upside
"EUR/JPY has recently established itself above the 50-DMA and has now overcome the upper limit of the range within which it evolved since last December (164.60) highlighting regaining upward momentum. This is also denoted by the daily MACD, which remains anchored within positive territory."
