However, the EUR/JPY cross rises above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), signaling short-term momentum is stronger. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 70 mark, suggesting an overbought situation and a potential downward correction soon.
On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross is testing the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 168.80, followed by the psychological level of 169.00. A break above the crucial resistance channel would strengthen the bullish bias and lead the currency cross to approach the 170.00 level.
The EUR/JPY cross could find initial support at the nine-day EMA of 167.07.
