EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a daily chart perspective, the EUR/JPY is forming a megaphone top formation, usually a bearish formation, which was confirmed once the cross-currency pair broke below the 200-day EMA. Also, the 20-day EMA crossed below the 100-day EMA, exacerbating an acceleration of the downtrend, as sellers eye a break below the December 2022 low of 138.80.

Oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), aiming toward oversold conditions and the Rate of Change (RoC) staying below its zero line, confirm that sellers are in charge.

Therefore, the EUR/JPY first support would be the December low of 138.80. A breach of the latter will expose the September 26 daily low of 137.36, followed by the August 24 swing low of 135.51.

As an alternate scenario, if the EUR/JPY climbs back above the 200-day EMA, a rally toward the 20-day EMA at 142.21 is on the cards. Once cleared, it would expose the 100-day EMA at 142.43.
