EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Holds gains above 185.50 near nine-day EMA support

  • EUR/JPY may rise toward the ascending triangle’s upper boundary near 186.10.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is around 53 and signals steady momentum.
  • The initial support lies at the nine-day EMA at 185.46.

EUR/JPY edges higher after three days of losses, trading around 185.50 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The currency cross is holding above both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which reinforces a mildly bullish near-term bias.

The EUR/JPY cross is pressing into the upper end of its recent range while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 53 suggests constructive but not overstretched momentum. The daily chart technical analysis shows the currency cross is remaining within the ascending triangle, signalling aggressive buying pressure.

The EUR/JPY cross may find the initial resistance at the triangle’s upper boundary around 186.10. A decisive break above the triangle could trigger a powerful bullish continuation, which could expose the all-time high of 187.95, which was recorded on April 17.

On the downside, immediate support sits at the nine-day EMA of 185.46, with additional backing at the 50-day EMA of 185.12 and the lower edge of the ascending triangle near 185.00. A breakdown below the triangle pattern would undermine the bullish setup, exposing the EUR/JPY cross to deeper downside toward the March 16 five-month low of 181.87 and the seven-month low of 180.81.
