EUR/JPY appears to be stuck in a narrow range as it bounces back from a fresh weekly low (156.79), but the exchange rate may face a larger pullback as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) slips below 70 to indicate a textbook sell-signal.
EUR/JPY Rate Outlook
EUR/JPY consolidates following the failed attempt to break/close above the 157.20 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) to 157.90 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) region, but the RSI may continue to show the bullish momentum abating as it falls back from overbought territory.
Failure to retain the weekly range may push EUR/JPY towards 154.90 (61.8% Fibonacci extension), with a break/close below 153.30 (50% Fibonacci extension) opening up the 151.60 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) area, which lines up with the 50-Day SMA (151.49).
Nevertheless, EUR/JPY may track the positive slope in the moving average as it registered fresh yearly highs every single month so far in 2023, with a break/close above the 157.20 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) to 157.90 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) region opening up the September 2008 high (159.61).
