EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The EUR/JPY uptrend remains in play, but today’s price action, coupled with Wednesday, is forming a two-candlestick chart pattern called ‘bearish-harami,’ which suggests the EUR/JPY could be ready for a pullback while maintaining its upward bias.
It should be said that on the EUR/JPY way down, the Tenkan-Sen would be the first support at 155.26. A breach of the latter will expose the Senkou Span A at 155.01, followed by the Kijun-Sen levels emerging at 154.76.
On the flip side, for EUR/JPY buyers to regain control, they must keep prices from achieving a daily close below 156.00. Once done, buyers could remain hopeful for higher prices, with the first resistance being the July 19 high at 157.20, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) high at 157.99.
