EUR/JPY Significant Levels

Resistance Levels: 185.00, 186.00, 187.00

Support Levels: 184.00, 183.00, 182.00

EUR/JPY Long-Term Trend: Bullish

Price action in the EUR/JPY market has been in a long-term upward trend. In fact, although today’s session turned bearish, price action remains above key technical levels. Notably, the market is closing the week at a higher level than where it opened at the start of the week.

The Japanese yen seems to be the weaker side of the pair, as there is speculation that the Japanese economy may experience consistent growth going forward. On the euro side, the market is attempting to offset this optimism with slightly improved Ifo Business Climate data, but this effort falls short.

Daily Chart Indicator Readings

As previously noted, price action in the EUR/JPY market remains above the 9-day EMA curve. However, the most recent price candle shows a notable downward retracement, printing a red candle above the EMA line. Despite this pullback, the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) lines remain in convergence and still stand above the 50 threshold of the indicator.

EUR/JPY Medium-Term Trend: Bearish

On the EUR/JPY 4-hour chart, price action can be seen edging lower. The most recent price candle is a large bearish one. The selling pressure in the current session has pushed the pair below an important short-term technical level, suggesting that bearish forces may be capable of driving further declines in the near term.

4-Hour Chart Indicator Readings

Price action on the EUR/JPY 4-hour chart has moved below the 9-day EMA curve. Consequently, this signals that price action may be targeting lower levels. In the current session, the Stochastic RSI lines are falling rapidly toward the oversold region and have dropped below the 50 level of the indicator. The leading SRSI line stands at 6.22, while the lagging line is at 37.48.

General Outlook for EUR/JPY

The overall market outlook points to at least a short-term bearish bias. The daily chart shows that bears regained control during today’s trading session, as reflected by the latest price candle. However, the pair still trades above the 9-day EMA, preserving its long-term bullish structure.

On the 4-hour chart, price action has slipped below key technical levels, including the 9-day EMA. At the same time, the SRSI lines are plunging sharply into the oversold region. As a result, the pair may decline further toward the psychologically significant 184.00 price level.
