The EUR/JPY cross trades on a positive note for three straight days around 166.65 on Wednesday during the early European session. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Wednesday that the Japanese central bank may take monetary policy action if yen moves have a big impact on inflation. Meanwhile, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki stated that rapid foreign exchange movements are undesirable. Suzuki declined to comment on whether the US has agreed on Japan's FX intervention.
From a technical perspective, EUR/JPY resumes its uptrend as the cross holds above the key 100-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the four-hour chart. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands in bullish territory around 58, indicating that further upside looks favorable for the time being.
The upper boundary of the Bollinger Band at 167.20 acts as an immediate resistance level for the cross. Further north, the next hurdle is located at the 168.00 psychological figure, en route to a high of April 30 at 168.61. Any follow-through buying above the latter will see a rally to a yearly high of 2007 at 168.95.
On the downside, the initial support level for EUR/JPY is seen near the 100-period EMA at 165.90. A decisive break below this level will see a drop to a low of May 6 at 165.50, followed by the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 164.08.
