EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Trades around 172.00 after breaking below nine-day EMA
- EUR/JPY may test the immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA of 172.15.
- The 14-day RSI remains above 50, indicating a persistent bullish bias.
- The initial support appears at the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 170.50.
EUR/JPY breaks its five-day winning streak, trading around 171.90 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The bullish bias is strengthening as the technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the currency cross moves upwards within the ascending channel pattern.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 mark, strengthening bullish bias. However, the short-term price momentum is weaker as the EUR/JPY cross has moved below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
On the upside, the immediate barrier appears at the nine-day EMA of 172.15, followed by the fresh yearly high of 173.25, reached on July 16. A break above this level could strengthen the bullish bias and support the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 176.10.
The EUR/JPY cross may approach the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 170.50. A break below the channel could weaken the bullish bias and put downward pressure on the currency cross to test the 50-day EMA at 168.50, aligned with monthly low at 168.46.
