EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Falls to near 184.00 despite positive momentum

  • EUR/JPY may rebound toward the horizontal channel’s upper boundary near 186.00.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index stands at 56, confirming positive momentum.
  • Primary support stands at the nine-day EMA near 183.33.

EUR/JPY loses ground after two days of gains, trading around 184.10 during the European hours on Thursday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows a consolidation phase as the currency cross remains within the horizontal channel.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 56 stays above the 50 line, confirming positive momentum rather than overbought conditions and supporting scope for a further recovery.

The near-term bias is mildly bullish as the EUR/JPY cross holds above both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), keeping the broader uptrend intact despite recent consolidation. The nine-day EMA has turned higher again, showing buyers regaining short-term control after the pullback from the 186.00 area.

The EUR/JPY cross may rebound toward the upper boundary of the horizontal channel around 186.00, followed by the all-time high of 186.88, reached on January 23.

On the downside, primary support lies at the nine-day EMA at 183.33, followed by the 50-day EMA at 182.99. Further declines below the averages would weaken the momentum and expose a two-month low at 180.81, recorded on February 12, followed by the lower horizontal channel around 180.10. Further declines would cause the emergence of the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the region around the four-month low at 175.70.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
