EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Tests upper descending triangle boundary near 183.50

  • EUR/JPY tests the immediate barrier around the upper descending triangle boundary at 183.40.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 50 indicates neutral momentum.
  • Immediate support lies at the nine-day EMA at 183.28.

EUR/JPY depreciates after registering gains in the previous two sessions, trading around 183.40 during the Asian hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows the spot testing the upper boundary of a descending triangle, suggesting potential resistance and a possible continuation of the bearish trend unless a breakout occurs.

However, the near-term bias is mildly bullish as the EUR/JPY cross holds above the 50-day EMA and the nine-day EMA, signaling an ongoing uptrend rather than a reversal. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 50 underscores balanced momentum, with neither overbought nor oversold conditions, which keeps the focus on price action around the clustered moving averages to judge whether buyers can regain control.

A successful breakout above the descending triangle would indicate bullish confirmation and may support the EUR/JPY cross to explore the region around the all-time high of 186.88, reached on January 23.

On the downside, immediate support is seen at the nine-day EMA of 183.28, followed by the 50-day EMA of 183.12. Further declines below the short- and medium-term averages would revive the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the area around the three-month low of 180.81, recorded on February 12, followed by the lower boundary of the descending triangle around 180.40. A break below the triangle would expose the four-month low at 175.70, recorded on November 5.

AUD/USD meets support near 0.7150

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC and XAU drop as US PPI broadens rate-hike bets
Cryptocurrency prices are broadly correcting, led by Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading around $77,000 on Thursday, marking four consecutive days of declines. Meanwhile, Gold (XAU) remains sideways, hovering around $4,365, with upside capped below $4,400.
ECB recap: A hawkish hike despite downside growth risks
The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the Deposit Facility Rate to 2.50%, the Refinancing Rate to 2.65% and the Marginal Lending Facility to 2.90%, effective from September 16. The decision was accompanied by a clear warning that the outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks tilted to the upside for inflation and to the downside for growth.
Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
