EUR/JPY Price Forecast
The EUR/JPY daily chart portrays the pair’s faced solid support at the 20-day EMA around 142.08. Even though Thursday’s daily low was 141.95, sellers could not hold the fort, so the EUR/JPY reclaimed 142.00. It should be noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) just crossed below the 7-day RSI’s SMA, indicating that sell orders could be beginning to pile in the pair. Unless the EUR/JPY registers a daily close below 142.00, the pair is still neutral-to-upward biased.
Short term, the EUR/JPY is neutral to downward biased, hoovering around the S1 daily pivot at 142.28. On Thursday, the pair stumbled below the 50, 20, and 100-EMAs, opening the door for further losses, but the fall stalled at 142.00.
Although the cross-currency is downward biased, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossed above its 7-RSI’s SMA, meaning buyers are gathering some strength. So a re-test of October 5 daily low at 142.44 is on the cards before continuing downwards.
If that scenario plays out, the EUR/JPY first support would be 142.00. Break below will expose the S2 daily pivot at 141.50, ahead of the next demand zone, and the 200-EMA at 141.28, followed by the 141.00 figure.
