EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Extends win streak to four days, eyes on 166.00

  • EUR/JPY trades at 165.16, up 0.06% early Tuesday, extending 4-day rally.
  • RSI favors buyers, but lack of momentum points to wait-and-see mode.
  • Break above 165.30 could expose Nov. 6 high at 166.09, then 167.00.
  • Drop below 165.00 opens path to support at 164.03 and 163.60.

EUR/JPY prolongs its rally to four straight days as Tuesday’s Asian session begins. At the time of writing, the cross-pair exchange hands at 165.16, up 0.06%, and is up 0.09% in the week so far.

EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The EUR/JPY is neutral to upward biased, but so far, it has remained trapped within the 164.50-165.30 range for the last three days, indicating a lack of conviction among buyers and sellers regarding the cross-pair. Momentum-wise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that buyers are in control but are taking a respite, awaiting a fresh catalyst.

If EUR/JPY clears the year-to-date high, this would pave the way for a test of the November 6 high at 166.09. Once surpassed, the next stop would be 167.00. On the other hand, if EUR/JPY tumbles beneath the 165.00 mark, look for a test of the Tenkan-sen at 164.03, followed by the Senkou Span A at 163.60.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
