BoJ to keep massive monetary easing

BOJ kept monetary policy steady by unanimous vote, retaining its plan to increase monetary base at annual pace of 60-70 trillion yen. The bank said that the CPI uptick from recent months will gradually accelerate as inflation expectations continue to rise on the whole. Monetary easing to continue until 2% inflation target reached, the BoJ said. On the economic outlook, the central bank said the Japanese economy is recoverying moderately but still faces many uncertainties.

With no central bankers on the docket for the next seven trading sessions, the EUR/USD will be data dependent for directional guidance. Technicians give only a little room left for the rally. Most technicians are definitely of the opinion that this is definitely a corrective move higher for EUR/USD with an upside target range of 1.3350 to 1.3414 – which is just above current levels. So, they point out that unless and until 1.3414 is conquered on a closing basis that this is a rally to be sold. Any close above 1.3414 will open the door to much more upside – but that would seem to fly in the face of what the FOMC leaders have been saying recently. Short-term support comes in at two intraday pivots from Tuesday at 1.3265 and 1.3239 -FXstreet.com
