• EUR/JPY climbs to new YTD peaks past 162.00.
• Further gains remain on the cards in the near term.

EUR/JPY manages to clear the 162.00 hurdle and print fresh 2023 tops at the beginning of the week.

Further upside appears well on the cards for the cross in the short-term horizon. Against that, the surpass of the 2023 high of 162.36 (November 9) is expected to face the next significant resistance level not before the 2008 top of 169.96 (July 23).

Bolstering the above, the daily RSI approaches the 68 level, still leaving some room for the continuation of the uptrend before entering the overbought territory.

So far, the longer term positive outlook for the cross appears favoured while above the 200-day SMA, today at 152.23.
