EUR/JPY extends its winning streak for the fifth successive session, trading near a fresh all-time high of 179.82 during the European hours on Thursday. The currency cross breaks above the upper resistance of an ascending wedge pattern, signalling strong buying pressure and a bullish breakout.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned slightly below the 70 mark, reinforcing the bullish bias. However, a move above 70 would indicate overbought conditions and raise the likelihood of a near-term downward correction. The EUR/JPY cross suggests a stronger short-term momentum, rising above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross may reach fresh record highs near the psychological level of 180.00, followed by another crucial level of 182.00 amid persisting bullish bias.

The pullback toward the ascending wedge would revive the bearish pattern and prompt the EUR/JPY cross to test the psychological level of 179.00, followed by the nine-day EMA at 178.30. Further declines below the latter would dampen the short-term price momentum and prompt the currency cross to test the descending boundary of the ascending wedge around 176.70, followed by the 50-day EMA at 175.83.
