EUR/JPY gains ground after remaining flat in the previous session, trading around 178.50, near record highs, during the European hours on Thursday. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests strengthening of a bullish bias as the currency cross has rebounded from the confluence support zone around the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and lower boundary of the ascending channel pattern.

The short-term price momentum is stronger as the EUR/JPY cross remains above the nine-day EMA. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has rebounded toward the 70 mark, strengthening the bullish bias. Further advances would lead the currency cross to reach overbought territory.

The EUR/JPY cross reached the all-time high at 178.71, reached on October 30. Further advances would support the currency cross to explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 184.00.

On the downside, the EUR/JPY cross may again target the confluence support zone around the nine-day EMA of 177.27 and the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 177.00. A break below the channel would undermine the short-term bullish momentum, potentially putting downward pressure on the currency pair toward the 50-day EMA region near 174.75, followed by the seven-week low of 172.14, which was recorded on September 9.
