EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Tests 186.50 barrier after breaking above ascending triangle top
- A sustained breakout above resistance targets the EUR/JPY all-time high near 187.95.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index of 59.46 keeps buyers in control short of overbought territory.
- Pulling back to the triangle exposes initial support at the nine-day EMA around 185.81.
EUR/JPY extends its gains for the third successive day, trading around 186.40 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The currency cross is keeping a bullish near-term bias as it holds above both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The short-term EMA trading over the longer one reinforces an upward structure.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 59.46 stays in positive territory without yet signaling overbought conditions, hinting that buyers still retain control but face nearby upside constraints.
The daily chart technical analysis shows the currency cross is positioned above the upper boundary of an ascending triangle, suggesting a bullish breakout. Further advances would support the currency cross to navigate the region around the all-time high of 187.95, which was recorded on April 17.
On the downside, a return within the triangle would expose the initial support at the nine-day EMA of 185.81, with additional backing at the 50-day EMA of 185.23 and the lower boundary of the ascending triangle near 185.20.
Further declines below the triangle pattern would undermine the bullish setup and put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the region around the five-month low of 181.87, recorded on March 16, and the seven-month low of 180.81.
