Pair's Outlook
The Euro outperformed the Japanese Yen on Thursday, having preserved the ascending channel pattern. However, the pair remains close to the channel's support line, with risks of a breakout still present. The channel's lower border is now reinforced by the weekly and the monthly PPs, reducing the chances of a breach to the downside. According to technical studies, the bullish momentum is likely to prevail. In this case, the nearest resistance to stop the EUR/JPY cross from climbing higher is located only around 126.90, but a rally that far is doubtful, amid no market movers present due to Easter holidays.
Traders' Sentiment
Bullish traders' sentiment returned to its Monday's level of 54% (previously 53%). Meanwhile, the number of orders to acquire the Euro dropped 3% points lower, namely from 74 to 71%.
