EUR/JPY hits just shy of 161.00, etches in a 15-year high

The EUR/JPY is clipping into new 15-year highs near 161.00, coming within inches of the price handle in Monday trading. The pair hit high bids of 160.98, and further upside could be on the cards for the Euro (EUR) as the Japanese Yen (JPY) flounders under the weight of a dovish Bank of Japan (BoJ).

The European Sentix Investor Confidence Index improved for November to -18.6. October previously printed at -21.9, its second-worst reading in a year.

Next up of note will be European Retail Sales on Wednesday, with the annualized figure for September expected to accelerate to the downside from -2.1% to -3.2%.

BoJ: Another disappointment for JPY bulls – TDS

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) hit Yen markets with further dovish comments, with BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda noting that the BoJ is firmly dedicated to hyper-easy momentary policy. The Japanese central bank continues to remain concerned about inflation and wage growth both declining below the BoJ's minimum targets in the future.

A dovish BoJ stance is pummeling the Yen, sending it to multi-year lows.

EUR/JPY Technical Outlook

The EUR/JPY tipped into a 15-year high near the 161.00 handle on Monday, climbing as the JPY gets sent into the floorboards across the broad marketspace.

The pair has accelerated away from the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) currently lifting from 158.00, and little remains in the way of technical resistance with the pair tapping multi-year highs.

The EUR/JPY pair's recent consolidation has left technical oscillators hung along the midrange, and the Relative Strength Index (RIS), despite holding firmly in upper bound territory, still hasn't flashed overbought signals.
