EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Bullish stance holds strong, potential minor correction anticipated

  • The daily chart reveals an encouraging picture for the bulls, with the RSI close to 60.
  • On the hourly chart, the indicators are weakening, but remain in a positive area.
  • The cross operating above main SMAs, suggests a maintained bullish bias in both short-term and long-term contexts.

The EUR/JPY pair is currently exchanging hands at 164.24, registering a minor gain of 0.16%. Trading dynamics are steadily bullish, with buyers having a dominant influence over market actions. However, indicators are losing steam in the hourly chart.

The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading, residing near 60, places the market in a positive territory and its consistent positive trend in the RSI, indicates that buyers maintain control over the market. Consistently, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) presents an encouraging picture with decreasing red bars suggesting weak negative momentum.

EUR/JPY daily chart

Taking a look at the hourly chart, a similar tone of bullish dominance resounds but with indicators losing traction. The RSI values show a positive terrain, position between 40 and 60 during the most recent hours but point south. The MACD on the other hand, prints flat green bars, indicating a steady buying momentum.

EUR/JPY hourly chart

In the broader perspective, EUR/JPY maintains a significant bullish stance. Notably, the EUR/JPY stands above both the 20,100 and 200-day SMA, reaffirming a solid long-term bullish position and confirming the dominant upward movement shown by the RSI.

In conclusion, the comprehensive examination of EUR/JPY, considering both the daily and hourly charts, delivers a dual message. Buyers generally command the market, as illustrated by the upward RSI trend and the presence of green MACD bars. However, minor dips and slowdowns on the hourly chart imply occasional shifts in market dynamics toward sellers.
