EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Hovers around 176.00 after rebounding from confluence support zone

  • EUR/JPY may approach the all-time high of 177.94.
  • The short-term momentum is stronger as the currency price moves above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average.
  • The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 175.78.

EUR/JPY halts its four-day losing streak, trading around 176.00 during the European hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates an ongoing bullish bias as the currency cross is positioned within the ascending channel pattern.

The short-term price momentum is stronger as the EUR/JPY cross remains above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 mark, suggesting that bullish bias is strengthening.

On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross may target the all-time high of 177.94, which was recorded on October 9. A break above this level would support the bullish bias and lead the currency cross to explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 181.30.

The EUR/JPY cross may find its immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 175.78, followed by the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 175.40. A break below this confluence support zone would weaken the bullish bias and put downward pressure on the currency cross to test the 50-day EMA at 173.82. Further declines would weaken the medium-term price momentum and prompt the currency cross to test the six-week low of 172.14, which was recorded on September 9.

EUR/USD: Bulls pray for a dovish Fed

EUR/USD has finally taken a breather after a pretty energetic climb. The pair broke above 1.1680 in the second half of the week, reaching its highest levels in around two months before running into some selling pressure. Even so, it has gained almost two cents from the late-November dip just below 1.1500 the figure.

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: Bullish momentum fades despite broad USD weakness

After rising more than 3.5% in the previous week, Gold has entered a consolidation phase and fluctuated at around $4,200. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and revised Summary of Economic Projections, also known as the dot plot, could trigger the next directional move in XAU/USD. 

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. Dollar weakness could linger; both the aussie and the yen best positioned to gain further. Gold and oil eye Ukraine-Russia developments; a peace deal remains elusive.

The Silver disconnection is real

Silver just hit a new all-time high. Neither did gold, nor mining stocks. They all reversed on an intraday basis, but silver’s move to new highs makes it still bullish overall, while the almost complete reversals in gold and miners make the latter technically bearish.

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.
