EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Positions above nine-day EMA near 183.00

EUR/JPY could find immediate support at the nine-day EMA at 183.06.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 44 signals soft, stabilizing bearish momentum.
The primary barrier lies at the 50-day EMA at 184.57.

EUR/JPY rises after registering losses in the previous day, trading around 183.10 during the European hours on Monday. The currency cross is holding a capped tone as it sits below the 50-day Exponential moving average (EMA) while clinging to short-term support at the nine-day EMA. This configuration suggests a corrective phase within the broader uptrend, with sellers retaining the upper hand while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 44 hints at still-soft but stabilizing bearish momentum after the recent slide.

Yen positioning shift seen as response to Japan intervention

Strategists at Societe Generale argue that the recent positioning adjustment in the Yen futures market is being driven primarily by official action rather than a genuine change in sentiment. They highlight that the sharp drop in speculative exposure, with the “collapse in Short Yen CFTC positions to 10.8%,” is “a reflection of MoF intervention, not a reflection of greater optimism that the currency has fundamentally turned.”

A pullback below the nine-day EMA at 183.06 would reinforce the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the region around the eight-month low of 179.37, reached on August 3, followed by the nine-month low of 175.70.

On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross could find initial resistance at the 50-day EMA at 184.57. Further advances above the medium-term moving average would cause a bullish emergence and support the currency cross to explore the region around the all-time high of 187.95, which was recorded on April 17.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold treads water below $4,300

Gold grabs some buying attention and advances marginally at the end of the week, partially retracing the weekly decline, although it is still navigating below the key $4,300 mark per troy ounce. The fresh selling bias on the Greenback and the modest decline in US Treasury yields appear to support the humble advance in the precious metal.

Week ahead: Rate hike bets face a crucial data week

Despite the solid drop from the mid-September high, oil prices remained in the driver’s seat for another week, setting the tone in financial markets. Six months have passed since the late-February start of the US-Iran conflict, and there is still no breakthrough in the stalled talks, despite pressure from regional leaders and the rest of the world.

CFTC Report: Defensive currency positioning takes hold

The week in one sentence: Sterling and Euro shorts deepened in the week to September 22, while Yen longs were cut sharply. Oil positioning improved despite a steep price decline, and Gold exposure remained crowded. The main signal was a more defensive currency positioning backdrop.

Fed vs BoJ: Both hiked. The market only believes one of them – and the chart shows which

The Fed and the BoJ have just done something remarkably similar. Both central banks raised interest rates by 25 bps last week, both are confronting inflation risks, and both signal that future decisions will depend on incoming economic data.
