EURJPY weakness continues on BoJ rate hike signal The EUR currency further weakened against the JPY earlier today when the BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda signalled that the central bank stands ready to increase government bond buying if long-term interest rates rise sharply, reiterating the BOJ’s long-standing commitment to supporting stable markets. The EURJPY price action sentiment appears bearish, supported by the longer-term prevailing downtrend.
The key trading level is at 158.90. An oversold rally from the current levels and a bearish rejection from the 158.90 level could target the downside support at 156.50 followed by 153.30 and 151.00 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, a confirmed breakout above 158.90 resistance and a daily close above that level would negate the bearish outlook opening the way for further rallies higher and a retest of 161.00 resistance followed by 162.10 levels.
