FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

UOB’s Quek Ser Leang highlights building downside momentum in EUR/USD as the 21‑day EMA approaches a bearish cross below the 55‑day EMA. The pair has broken below the Ichimoku cloud and key moving averages, with support at 1.1400 and subsequent levels at 1.1353 and 1.1324. Resistance is seen between 1.1555–1.1565 and near 1.1625.

Bearish momentum targets key supports

"On Monday, 14 Sep 2026, EUR/USD broke below the 55-day EMA near 1.1555."

"Yesterday, it accelerated lower and fell through the lower boundary of the daily Ichimoku cloud, near 1.1490."

"The sharp drop has brought the 21-day EMA to the verge of crossing below the 55-day EMA, signaling that downward momentum is continuing to build."

"Notably, on the previous two occasions when the 21-day EMA crossed below the 55-day EMA, EUR/USD subsequently declined for a few weeks, although the magnitude of weakness differed."

"Looking ahead, should EUR/USD break below 1.1400, the July low of 1.1353 would be the next level to watch, followed closely by the June low of 1.1324."

USD/JPY reverses a dip below 156.00 as focus shifts to BoJ

USD/JPY is reversing a brief dip below 156.00 in the Asian session on Thursday, looking to snap a three-day winning streak to a nearly two-week top set the previous day. The US Dollar pauses following the post-Fed rally to seven-week highs, while a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ's policy normalization path supports the Japanese Yen.

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.
