EUR/JPY clears 164.60 resistance, MACD signals renewed upside

"EUR/JPY has recently established itself above the 50-DMA and has now overcome the upper limit of the range within which it evolved since last December (164.60) highlighting regaining upward momentum. This is also denoted by the daily MACD, which remains anchored within positive territory."

"The pair may head higher gradually towards October 2024 high and projections near 166.70/167.10 and 168.40. Defence of the upper band of previous range at 164.60 will be crucial for persistence in up move."
