EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Holding position around 174.50 with an overbought condition

  • EUR/JPY is positioned within a rising wedge pattern, signaling a possible bearish reversal.
  • The 14-day RSI indicates that the currency asset is in an overbought condition.
  • The upper boundary of the ascending wedge around the 174.40 level acts as immediate resistance.

EUR/JPY halts its three-day losing streak, trading around 174.30 during European hours on Tuesday. The daily chart analysis shows a rising wedge pattern, indicating a possible bearish reversal. Moreover, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above the 70 level, suggesting that the currency asset is overbought and could face a correction.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) momentum indicator is currently above both the center line and the signal line, indicating a confirmation of bullish momentum. Traders can anticipate further moves by watching for possible changes in momentum in the EUR/JPY pair.

The EUR/JPY pair is facing a potential resistance near the upper boundary of the ascending wedge around the level of 174.40. A successful breakout above this level could strengthen the bullish bias and lead the pair towards the psychological level of 175.00.

On the downside, key support appears around the nine-day exponential moving average (EMA) at 173.52, followed by the lower boundary of the ascending wedge around the 173.50 level. A break below the latter could put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY pair to navigate the region around the psychological 170.00 level.

Further decline could increase selling pressure on the EUR/JPY pair to navigate the vicinity around the retracement support at 167.60.
