EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
At the time of writing, the EUR/JPY has surpassed key support levels, including the confluence of the 50- and 20-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) around 183.53/48, which has exacerbated a fall towards 183.00. Despite edging lower in the near term, the pair remains far from definitively shifting the bias to bearish, as it remains above the February 17 daily low of 180.82. Nevertheless, on its way down, it would face support at the 100-day SMA at 182.91.
Momentum, although bearish, as depicted in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), remains close to its neutral level. This means that buyers, despite being on the sidelines, can step up and push the cross-pair higher.
If the EUR/JPY conquer the 184.00 figure, the next resistance would be the March 27 high at 184.66, followed by the 185.00 mark. On further strength, the rally could extend towards the February 9 high at 186.23 ahead of the yearly peak at 186.87.
