  • EUR/JPY has broken consolidation and edged above weekly 200-SMA at 130.60.
     
  • The pair hit fresh 18-month high at 131.40 and has since pared gains to currently hover around 130.79 levels.
     
  • The major has broken out of consolidation phase in which it was confined since start of July.
     
  • If the pair sustains break above 130.60 on a weekly close will see news highs for the pair.
     
  • MACD supports trend higher. RSI and Stochs are at overbought levels, but bias still higher.
