EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Eyes nine-day EMA barrier near 180.00

Source Fxstreet
  • EUR/JPY may navigate the region around the lower boundary of the descending channel at 177.00.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is at 41.43, signalling weak yet stabilizing momentum.
  • The immediate barrier lies at the nine-day EMA at 17.88.

EUR/JPY gains ground after registering modest losses the previous day, trading around 179.70 during Asian hours on Monday. Technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the currency cross continues to trade within a descending channel pattern, pointing to a persistent bearish outlook.

The EUR/JPY cross retains a bearish near-term bias as it remains below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The short-term EMA sitting just above price hints at immediate topside pressure, while the longer EMA reinforces a broader capped tone. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 41.43 stays below the midline, suggesting weak but stabilizing momentum after the recent pullback.

The EUR/JPY cross may navigate the region around the lower boundary of the descending channel at 177.00, followed by an 11-month low of 175.70, recorded in November 2025.

On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross may test the nine-day EMA at 17.88. A break above the short-term price average could trigger a bullish reversal and support the cross as it tests the 50-day EMA at 182.17. Further resistance lies at the upper boundary of the descending channel around 184.60, followed by the all-time high of 187.95 set on April 17.

However, strategists at Scotiabank highlight that the Japanese Yen is leading G10 gains against the US Dollar, noting that "JPY is outperforming on verbal intervention & FX comments from both PM Takaichi & FinMin Katayama." They point out that the latest remarks from Japan’s political leadership, expressing concern over a weak Yen, have provided notable near-term support and helped drive what the bank describes as an impressive move in the currency.

Brent edges toward $99 as Trump rejects Iran's Hormuz proposal — why the war-risk premium won't rebuildBrent crude rose 0.92% to $98.51 and WTI gained 1.15% to $93.51 after President Trump rejected Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But both benchmarks remain about 12% below their early-September highs, because supply never actually stopped. Hormuz flows ran at 33.7 million barrels this week, in line with the prior week, and Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline restarted on September 22.
