EUR/JPY continues its winning streak for the fourth successive session, trading around 179.10 during the European hours on Wednesday. The currency cross is testing resistance within a bearish pattern, trading near the upper boundary of an ascending wedge pattern. A potential reversal could occur if the price fails to break out convincingly and instead turns lower.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is climbing toward the 70 mark, reinforcing the bullish bias. However, a move above 70 would signal overbought conditions and raise the likelihood of a near-term downward correction. The EUR/JPY cross suggests a stronger short-term momentum, trading above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross is trading near a fresh all-time high of 179.15, reached during earlier Asian hours, with testing the ascending wedge’s upper boundary. A break above this confluence resistance area would open the doors for the currency cross to explore the region around the psychological level of 180.00.
The initial support appears at the psychological level of 179.00, followed by the nine-day EMA at 177.90. A break below the latter would weaken the short-term price momentum and prompt the EUR/JPY cross to test the descending boundary of the ascending wedge around 176.50, followed by the 50-day EMA at 175.66.
