The trend structure in EURJPY is bullish and moving average studies continue to highlight a dominant uptrend. Recent strength above resistance at 175.13, the Sep 29 high, confirms a resumption of the uptrend. A continuation higher would open 178.94, a Fibonacci projection. First key support to watch lies at 175.22, the 20-day EMA - a level pierced last Friday. A clear breach of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement.
