The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits just above the 50 mark, reinforcing the bullish outlook for the EUR/JPY cross. Moreover, the currency cross's position above the nine- and 14-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) highlights improved short-term price momentum and supports the potential for further gains.
On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross may find its primary resistance around its two-month low at the 164.90 level. A break above this level could improve the bullish bias and support the currency cross to approach the upper boundary of the ascending channel at the psychological level of 166.50, followed by a six-month high of 166.69, a level last seen in October 2024.
