EUR/JPY technical outlook

Last week it peaked above 134.50 and then pulled back. Since last Friday it is moving sideways, with support above 133.30 and resistance below 134.50. “The EUR/JPY pair continues trading range bound, ending the day slightly higher amid EUR’s strength, although with the pair still unable to firm up above the 134.00 figure”, said Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet.

According to Bednarik, in the 4-hour chart, “the RSI indicator heads higher around 64, but the Momentum indicator lacks directional strength around its mid-line, suggesting some further consolidation ahead.
