EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Hovers around 172.50 after breaking below nine-day EMA

Source Fxstreet
  • EUR/JPY eyes rebound above the nine-day EMA at 172.63.
  • Bullish bias remains stronger as the 14-day Relative Strength Index is positioned above the 50 mark.
  • The primary support lies at the psychological level of 172.00.

EUR/JPY holds ground after registering more than 1% losses in the previous three successive sessions, trading around 172.50 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a persistent bullish bias as the currency cross remains within the ascending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 mark, suggesting a bullish bias is prevailing. However, the short-term price momentum turned weaker as the EUR/JPY cross has moved below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

On the upside, the nine-day EMA at 172.63 is acting as the immediate barrier. A break above this level would improve the short-term price momentum and support the EUR/JPY cross to explore the region around the 173.91, the highest since July 2024, recorded on September 8, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around the 174.30.

Further advances above the confluence around the ascending channel’s upper boundary would strengthen the bullish bias and lead the currency cross to approach the all-time high of 175.43, reached in July 2024.

The EUR/JPY cross may find its initial support at the psychological level of 172.00, followed by the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 171.80, followed by the 50-day EMA of 171.25. A break below this crucial support zone would weaken medium-term price momentum and push the currency cross toward the 10-week low of 169.72, last seen on July 31.
