EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The formation of an “ascending triangle” in an uptrend, suggests that the EUR/JPY is poised to extend its rally, and post gains of over 300 pips with buyers targeting the 178.00 figure. Nevertheless, fundamental reasons, like the Bank of Japan (BoJ) telegraphing hawkish intentions to hike rates, according to sources, capped the pair’s advance.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish and about to clear the latest peak at 64.92, would indicate that flows could push the EUR/JPY higher.
