EURJPY has traded higher again Thursday before reversing course into the close. The recovery has allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. This keeps key near-term resistance at 161.06, the 50-day EMA. It has been pierced on the rally, but a clear break would strengthen bullish conditions and signal scope for an extension towards 162.71, a Fibonacci retracement. For bears, reversal lower would refocus attention on 155.61, the Feb 10 low and bear trigger.
