FxNews—The euro is in a bear market against the Japanese Yen, trading at approximately 157 in today’s trading session. The primary trend is bearish because the EUR/JPY price is below the 100-period simple moving average and the 160.0 mark (August 29 Low).
The 4-hour chart below demonstrates the price, support, resistance levels, and technical indicators used in today’s analysis.
EURJPY Technical Analysis – 18-September-2024
The Stochastic oscillator is in overbought territory, meaning the European currency is overbought against the Yen. The relative strength index indicator declines, nearing the median line, indicating a strengthening bear market.
The Awesome oscillator bars are green and above the signal line, suggesting a bull market, which contradicts the other technical data we receive from the chart.
Overall, the technical indicators suggest the primary trend is bearish, and the downtrend will likely resume.
EURJPY Forecast – 18-September-2024
The immediate resistance area expands from the 100 SMA and the August 29 low between 159 and 160. From a technical perspective, the downtrend will likely resume if the EUR/JPY price holds below the immediate resistance.
In this scenario, the current bearish momentum can potentially retest 155.5 (September 16 Low), followed by the August low at 154.4.
Please note that the bearish scenario should be invalidated if the EUR/JPY price crosses above the 160 resistance.
