EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Tests 187.00 resistance as bullish bias holds

  • EUR/JPY may test resistance at the psychological level of 187.00.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 62.30 remains positive, not yet overbought.
  • The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 186.58.

EUR/JPY gains ground after registering nearly 0.5% losses the previous trading day, hovering around 186.80 during Asian hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates the currency cross is trending higher within an ascending channel, signaling a persistent bullish bias.

The EUR/JPY cross maintains a bullish near-term bias as it holds above both the nine- and the 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), keeping the broader uptrend supported.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 62.30 sits in positive territory without being extreme, which suggests underlying buying pressure remains constructive while leaving room for further upside.

The EUR/JPY cross may find immediate resistance at the psychological level of 187.00, followed by the all-time high of 187.95, which was recorded on April 17. Further advances would support the currency cross to test the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 188.60.

On the downside, the EUR/JPY cross may find its primary support at the nine-day EMA of 186.58, followed by the lower ascending channel boundary around 186.00. A sustained break below the channel would expose the 50-day EMA at 184.51.

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..”

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.
