EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Tests 177.50 barrier near nine-day EMA
- EUR/JPY may fall toward the lower boundary of the descending channel around 176.20.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index is at 35.8, signalling persistent yet moderating downside momentum.
- The primary barrier lies at the nine-day EMA at 177.76.
EUR/JPY gains ground for the second consecutive day, trading around 177.40 during Asian hours on Friday. Technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the currency cross is moving downward within the descending channel pattern, suggesting a persistent bearish bias.
The EUR/JPY cross is retaining a bearish near-term bias as it holds below both the nine- and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The short-term EMA is positioned beneath the longer one, and price remains under both, suggesting that recent rebounds are capped by overhead supply, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 35.8 stays just above oversold territory, hinting at persistent but moderating downside pressure rather than an imminent bullish reversal.
The EUR/JPY cross may find initial support at the lower boundary of the descending channel around 176.20, followed by an 11-month low of 175.70, recorded in November 2025. Further declines below this confluence support zone would expose the 14-month low of 169.72.
On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross could test the primary resistance at the nine-day EMA of 177.76, followed by the 50-day EMA at 180.77. A break above these moving averages would support the EUR/JPY cross to approach the upper boundary of the descending channel around 184.00, followed by the all-time high of 187.95 set on April 17.
Moulin flags energy-driven inflation but downplays second-round risks
ECB's Moulin delivers a mid-range impact at 6.2/10, exactly in line with the historic average on FXS Speechtracker, signaling no major shift in perceived policy stance. The focus on inflation being "100% energy" and the absence of second-round effects leans mildly dovish, suggesting limited urgency for aggressive tightening despite acknowledging an inflationary shock.
However, the warning that the geopolitical shock is transmitting into a financial shock introduces a cautious tone that tempers any dovish read. Moulin’s emphasis on resilient Euro area growth supports the view that the ECB can afford to be patient, reinforcing a balanced bias that is unlikely to materially reprice Euro expectations in the near term.
