On the daily chart, the EUR/JPY cross-currency pair has posted strong gains after testing low at 128.33 on Wednesday. The pair posted gains for the third straight session. Now, a break and closing above 130.30 will be the real test for the bulls.
Having said that, if the price breaks the 130.50 strong resistance zone, it could test September,3 high at 130.74. The Moving Average Convergence (MACD) indicator trades above the midline with a bullish stance. Any uptick in the MACD would prompt EUR/JPY bulls to meet the 131.00 horizontal resistance zone. Upon successful testing of the mentioned level, the EUR/JPY bulls would attempt to recapture the high made on July 6 at 131.86.
Alternatively, if prices reverse direction it could fall back to the 130.00 and the 129.50 horizontal support levels respectively. Next, the market participants would keep their eyes on the psychological 129.00 level.
