EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Breaks above 147.00 again with positive bias intact

  • EUR/JPY recoups Friday’s losses and breaks back above 148.00.
  • Above 148.40, the pair will look for the 2014 high at 149.80.
  • To the downside, the break of the 144.00 support would nullify the bullish bias.
The euro has recovered on Monday most of the ground lost after the alleged intervention of the Japanese authorities on Friday. The pair has risen about 1% so far today, breaking back above 147.00 from 143.70.

The four-hour chart shows uptrend support from the late September lows intact, and the pair in a steady uptrend making higher highs and higher lows.

Positive price action is likely to push the pair towards Friday’s high of 148.40. A confirmation above here would put the focus on the 2014 high at 149.80 ahead of the psychological level at 150.00.

To the downside, the 50-period SMA has been holding off bearish attempts in recent sessions with another major support zone at 144.00 (Trendline support and 100-period SMA). Below here, the pair would negate the short-term uptrend, probably targeting the 141.00 area (10,11 Oct lows).
