The Euro (EUR) registered substantial gains against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Wednesday, fueled by improving risk sentiment and the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) continued dovish stance, even in a rising interest rate environment. Currently, EUR/JPY trades at 164.25, demonstrating a strong 0.67% increase.
Renewed Bullish Momentum
Bullish momentum lifted EUR/JPY above the Tenkan-Sen at 163.71, clearing the path towards reclaiming the 164.00 mark. This resurgence suggests buyers are gaining strength, potentially setting the stage for a challenge of the 165.00 level. A decisive break above 165.00 could expose the year-to-date (YTD) high of 165.34.
Bearish Scenario
Conversely, sellers would need to push prices back below 164.00 to target the newly established Tenkan-Sen support at 163.71. A further break would bring the Senkou Span A at 163.25 into focus, followed by the Kijun-Sen level at 162.78.
