EUR/JPY fades part of Wednesday’s marked uptick and keeps the trade close to the key hurdle at 150.00 on Thursday.
While the likeliness of further consolidation appears a plausible near-term scenario, a convincing breakout of the key round level at 150.00 could encourage the cross to dispute the 2023 top at 151.61 (May 2) in the not-so-distant future.
So far, further upside looks favoured while the cross trades above the 200-day SMA, today at 143.55.
