EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Trades near 180.50 after breaking above nine-day EMA

· FXStreet

  • EUR/JPY may find immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 179.83.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is at 43.32, hinting at still-soft momentum.
  • The primary barrier lies at the 50-day EMA of 182.65.

EUR/JPY extends its gains for the second consecutive day, trading around 180.40 during European hours on Monday. Technical analysis of the daily chart shows the currency cross trading within a descending channel, keeping the overall bearish bias.

The EUR/JPY cross is keeping a bearish near-term bias as it holds below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) while clinging just above the nine-day EMA. This configuration suggests the currency cross is consolidating under medium-term trend resistance, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 43.32 hinting at still-soft momentum and limiting the scope for an immediate bullish reversal unless price can reclaim the 50-day EMA.

The EUR/JPY cross may pull back and test the immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 179.83. A break below the short-term price average would strengthen the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the currency cross to navigate the region around 177.40, followed by nearly an 11-month low of 175.70, recorded in November 2025.

On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross could rise toward the 50-day EMA of 182.65. Further resistance lies at the upper boundary of the descending channel around 185.00, followed by the all-time high of 187.95 set on April 17.
