EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Spinning tops warn bulls near 180.00

  • EUR/JPY forms back-to-back spinning tops near 180.00 resistance.
  • RSI turns lower as sellers regain short-term momentum.
  • Break below 178.71 exposes 177.85 and 175.70 next.

The EUR/JPY drops by about 0.08% on Thursday, forming back-to-back spinning tops near the 180.00 area, the top of a consolidation range capped to the downside by 178.00. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trades at 179.02, below its opening price.

EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook

The formation of two spinning tops indicates that buyers faced a zone of exhaustion, suggesting the cross might struggle to register a leg-up. Momentum as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that sellers are stepping in, as the index is set to turn to oversold thrice in September.

For a bearish continuation, the EUR/JPY needs to clear the September 16 low of 178.71. Beneath this area is the September 14 low of 177.85, then the November 5, 2025, low of 175.70, followed by 175.00.

On the other hand, for a bullish resumption, EUR/JPY needs to climb above 180.00 before challenging the next key resistance level, the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 183.58.

AUD/USD reclaims 0.7100 and above

AUD/USD regains the smile, reversing three consecutive daily pullbacks and returning to the area beyond 0.7100 the figure following the Wall St close on Thursday.

USD/JPY trades with decent losses in the 156.00 region ahead of the opening bell in Asia. Indeed, the pair has faded part of the recent three-day positive streak, faltering just ahead of the 156.50 level.

Gold climbs sharply and clinches fresh weekly peaks on Thursday, although the bull run seems to have met some initial hurdle around the $4,400 zone per troy ounce. The yellow metal’s rebound reverses three daily declines in a row and follows the modest retracement in the US Dollar as well as another negative performance of crude oil prices.

Zcash Price Forecast: ZEC eyes $1,500 breakout as retail demand expands
Zcash (ZEC) rises sharply above $1,400 on Thursday as the privacy-focused token defies the broader cryptocurrency market's doldrums this week, driven primarily by macro uncertainty and regulatory headwinds.

One hike down, more to come? The Fed’s new rate path says yes

The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its Fed Fund Target Range (FFTR) range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% in a unanimous decision, saying the move would support a timelier return to its 2% inflation goal.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.
