EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Holds ground above 179.00 within oversold territory

Source Fxstreet
  • EUR/JPY may find initial support at the descending channel bottom near 177.60.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index around 34 hints at lingering downside pressure.
  • The initial barrier is the nine-day EMA at 179.69.

EUR/JPY gains ground for the third successive day, trading around 179.10 during Asian hours on Wednesday. Technical analysis of the daily chart shows the currency cross trading within a descending channel, keeping the overall bias bearish.

The EUR/JPY cross is keeping a bearish near-term bias as price holds below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This configuration suggests rallies are likely to face supply, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 34 hints at lingering downside pressure but not yet an extreme oversold condition.

The EUR/JPY cross may fall toward the primary support at the lower boundary of the descending channel around 177.60. A break below the channel would strengthen the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the cross as it navigates toward nearly an 11-month low of 175.70, recorded in November 2025.

On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross could target the nine-day EMA of 179.69, followed by the 50-day EMA of 183.00. Further resistance lies at the upper boundary of the descending channel around 185.20, followed by the all-time high of 187.95 set on April 17.
