Strong Breakout - New Trend High in EUR/JPY Points Higher
Strong bullish move for EUR/JPY as it decisively breaks out to a new trend high, and clearly moves above the 34-week exponential moving average (ema) (orange line on weekly chart below). The 34-week ema has acted as resistance since approximately September 2018. In addition, the internal downtrend line has clearly been broken, another bullish sign. The odds now favor a continuation of the uptrend begun off the September swing low of $115.86.
