The EUR/JPY extended its gains for the sixth straight day on Monday and is up 0.24%. Yet it remains shy of testing the year-to-date (YTD) high reached on April 29 at 171.58. At the time of writing, the cross is trading at 171.29, above the 171.00 key technical level.

EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The pair is set to extend its gains. Still, intervention fears that the Bank of Japan or the Minister of Finance might step into the FX markets loom, keeping investors on their toes.

Momentum suggests that the cross could extend its gains, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish.

Therefore, the EUR/JPY first resistance would be the YTD high at 171.58. A breach of the latter will expose the 172.00 figure, followed by the 172.50 mark. Once those two levels are cleated, up next will be the 173.00 psychological level.

On further weakness, the EUR/JPY might be headed for a pullback, and test 171.00. Once cleared, the next support would be the confluence of the Tenkan, Kijun-Sen and Senkou Span A at 169.48. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 168.40.
