EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Eyes rising wedge top near 187.00

Source Fxstreet
  • EUR/JPY trades within a rising wedge pattern, targeting the upper boundary at 186.80.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index around 60 suggests constructive upside momentum
  • The initial support lies at the nine-day EMA of 185.94.

EUR/JPY extends its gains for the fourth consecutive day, trading around 186.50 during the Asian hours on Friday. The currency cross is maintaining a bullish near-term bias as price holds above both the nine-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The positioning above these trend filters, together with a 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 60, suggests constructive upside momentum while stopping short of overbought territory.

The daily chart technical analysis shows an ascending triangle has morphed into a rising wedge, signaling a shift from bullish accumulation to market exhaustion, typically indicating a strong bearish reversal risk.

The EUR/JPY cross is positioned within the rising wedge, with targeting the upper boundary around 186.80. Further advances would support the currency cross to navigate the region around the all-time high of 187.95, which was recorded on April 17.

On the downside, the initial support lies at the nine-day EMA of 185.94, with additional backing at the 50-day EMA of 185.26, aligned with the lower boundary of the rising wedge. Further declines below the wedge put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the region around the five-month low of 181.87, recorded on March 16, and the seven-month low of 180.81.
