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.
