EURJPY Keeps on Truckin’

The EURJPY breakout above 130.69 is playing out nicely with the pair moving through both initial targets at 132.02 and 133.13. price is now on course to challenge the 134.42 level next. Looking at the MACD and RSI, both are in bullish territory, though the MACD has weakened a little, suggesting the chance of some consolidation and potentially correction in the near term. However, while the market sits atop the 132.02 level, the pair looks likely to continue towards the next bull objective and a test of the channel top thereafter, with 135.68 sitting as the main upside marker to note.

Key Data to Watch

With little in the way of key data for either EUR or JPY in the near term, the pair is likely to remain pegged to broader risk flows. While USD remains weak and equities continue to push higher, JPY should remain muted, allowing the pair to continue higher. Keep an eye on US employment data into the end of next week for any shift in USD flows which could have an impact.
