  • CZKJPY: traders continue to chase the momentum on the pair and favors the CZK over JPY; the pair is currently testing key resistance at 5.26, which represents the high of its LT upward trending channel (and also April 2018 high). Next key level to watch on the topside stands at 5.46, which was the high reached in early February 2018 when liquidity peaked in the EM market (pre-Covid).
