Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY extends the rebound from weekly lows in the 134.30 zone and retakes the 135.00 mark and above.

The underlying upside momentum in the cross remains unchanged for the time being. However, EUR/JPY could attempt to consolidate before resuming the uptrend. That said, the next hurdle remains at the 2022 high at 137.54 (March 28) prior to a probable visit to the August 2015 peak at 138.99 (August 15) and ahead of the round level at 140.00.

In the meantime, while above the 200-day SMA at 130.14, the outlook for the cross is expected to remain constructive.
