EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Pulls back toward 185.50 near nine-day EMA

  • EUR/JPY faces primary resistance at its six-week high of 186.21.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 54 indicates neutral-to-positive momentum.
  • The primary support appears at the nine-day EMA of 185.39.

EUR/JPY depreciates after two days of gains, trading around 185.60 during the early European hours on Tuesday. The currency cross holds a mild bullish bias as it trades above the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 54 sits in neutral territory, hinting at a constructive but not overstretched upside tone as long as price remains supported above the medium-term average.

Additionally, the technical analysis of the daily chart suggests the EUR/JPY cross is moving within the ascending channel pattern, suggesting an ongoing bullish bias.

The EUR/JPY cross may find the primary resistance at the six-week high of 186.21, reached on June 5. Further advances would lead the currency cross to approach the all-time high of 187.95, recorded on April 17, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 188.20.

On the downside, the immediate support lies at the nine-day EMA of 185.39, followed by the 50-day EMA of 185.12. Further declines below these moving averages would trigger a bearish shift, exposing the lower boundary of the ascending channel near 184.70. Extended downward momentum could push the EUR/JPY cross to test its nearly four-month low of 181.87, recorded on March 16, with further declines targeting the six-month low of 180.81, reached on February 12.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation
We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”
9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?
The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
