EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Rises to near 185.00 after breaking above 50-day EMA

  • EUR/JPY could test the immediate support at the 50-day EMA of 184.52.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 52.89 remains neutral with a subtle bullish tilt.
  • Primary resistance is set at the upper boundary of the rising wedge around 186.10.

EUR/JPY extends its winning streak for the fourth successive day, trading around 184.80 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of a daily chart indicates that the spot is remaining within a rising wedge, signaling that an upward trend is losing momentum and typically acts as a bearish reversal.

The EUR/JPY cross holds above both the 50-period and nine-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which keeps the near-term bias constructive. The clustering of price just over these short- and medium-term EMAs suggests ongoing demand on dips, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 52.89 stays in neutral territory with a mild bullish tilt, hinting that upside momentum is steady rather than stretched.

The EUR/JPY cross is positioned slightly above the 50-day EMA at 184.52, followed by the lower boundary of the rising wedge around 184.60 and the nine-day EMA of 184.03. A decisive break below this confluence support zone would revive the bearish bias, potentially pressing the currency cross down toward its eight-month low of 179.37, recorded on August 3.

On the upside, the primary resistance lies at the upper boundary of the rising wedge around 186.10. A sustained break above the wedge could signal a broader bullish resurgence, opening the path for the currency cross to retest the area surrounding its all-time peak of 187.95 set on April 17.
