Key Quotes

"The EUR/JPY pair surged to a 7-day high on EUR strength, reaching 130.95 before retracing partially before the close."

"Technically, the 4 hours chart favors the upside, as the price advanced above its 100 SMA, whilst the technical indicators aim higher after a limited downward correction near overbought levels."

"Nevertheless, the pair stalled short from the 131.60 area where sellers have contained the upside since early March. Some follow through above this last level is required to see the pair gaining actual bullish strength, eyeing then the 133.40 price zone."

"On the other hand, a decline below the 130.00 level should turn the risk towards the downside, eyeing recent lows in the 128.40/60 price zone."
