EUR/JPY Price Forecast: Rises to near 185.50 due to bullish emergence
EUR/JPY gains ground for the fourth successive day, trading around 185.30 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The EUR/JPY cross is holding a constructive bias, with spot remaining above the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The short-term EMA, hovering just above the medium-term line, suggests the broader uptrend remains intact after the recent pullback.
The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests the EUR/JPY cross is moving within the ascending channel pattern, suggesting an ongoing bullish bias. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 52 suggests neutral-to-positive momentum rather than overbought conditions.
The EUR/JPY cross may explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 187.80, followed by the all-time high of 187.95, recorded on April 17.
On the downside, the immediate support lies at the nine-day EMA of 185.24, followed by the 50-day EMA at 185.07. A break below these averages would cause the bearish emergence and put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to test the lower ascending channel boundary around 184.50. Further declines would expose the nearly four-month low of 181.87, recorded on March 16, followed by the six-month low of 180.81, reached on February 12.

Nearly all officials believe inflation remains elevated and the labor market is close to full employment.

100 Million Barrels Shrinkage? Reports Say EU Believes Oil Reserve Release Plan Mainly Fulfills Previous Commitments, Not New Quotas
Last Friday, G7 member countries agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel reserves. The IEA had announced a plan to release 400 million barrels in March, and as of last Friday, about 75 million barrels had yet to be released. Most EU member states believe that this action is simply fulfilling previous commitments rather than adding new releases. Regarding the earlier-than-scheduled release of diesel stocks emphasized in last week's G7 agreement, EU member states consider it feasible, but on a limited scale.
