The Euro posted solid gains against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Wednesday, amid an improvement in risk appetite and the dovish stance adopted by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) despite rising interest rates. At the time of writing, the EUR/JPY trades at 164.25, up 0.67%.
EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
Euro bulls re-entered the market, lifting the EUR/JPY pair above the Tenkan-Sen a 163.71, which opened the door to reclaim the 164.00 mark. That suggests that buyers are gathering steam, which would open the door to challenge the 165.00 mark. A breach of the latter will expose the year-to-date (YTD) high of 165.34.
On the flip side, sellers must drag prices below 164.00 to challenge the new Tenkan-Sen level at 163.71, the next support level. Once surpassed, traders could test the Senkou Span Aat 163.25, followed by the Kijun-Sen level at 162.78.
