EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The EUR/JPY trades sideways after reaching the year-to-date (YTD) high of 187.95. The cross-pair dipped toward the 183.00 area following the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) last intervention, and since then buyers have reclaimed key resistance levels to reach the 186.00 mark.
At the time of writing, the EUR/JPY remains capped within the 186.00-187.00 range, amid fears that Japanese authorities could intervene in the foreign exchange markets. But bulls seem to be gaining momentum as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in bullish territory.
Buyers need to clear 187.00 to challenge the YTD high at 187.95. Once those levels are taken out, the next resistance would be the 189.00 mark ahead of the 190.00 psychological level.
On the other hand, if sellers push the EUR/JPY below the July 20 low of 185.35, it exacerbates a move toward the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 185.20, followed by the 100-day SMA at 185.05. Still lower lies the 200-day SMA at 183.29.
