Comprehensive analysis for EURJPY showing a moderate bearish bias (medium confidence) with 75% bearish signal balance across the weighted factors. Market structure, technical patterns, and key levels examined across multiple timeframes.

AI analyst comment AI market analysis · updated 21:18 UTC · refreshed every 3 hours

EURJPY has trended down from the 181.54 spike of Sep 18. It has printed lower highs at 180.795, 179.722 and 179.309 and successive lows at 176.768 and 176.595. RSI 31 is nearing oversold and MACD stays just under its signal, though the -0.04 histogram shows the decline is losing pace. Retail is 56% long, too balanced to add contrarian weight. A daily close beneath 176.595 would extend the trend toward 176.0, while a reclaim of 179.539 would neutralise it.

Lower highs and a fresh 176.771 low favour selling a bounce under 178.576, with the stop just above it; this is part of the long-yen theme with AUDJPY and NZDJPY. Confidence is low because the euro CPI flash at 05:00 NY could squeeze the euro, although hotter national prints failed to lift it this week.

Sentiment Interpretation

Retail positioning is balanced (56% long). Up to 60% on either side it carries no weight in our signals, and a balanced reading says nothing about the next move.

Retail
Open EUR/JPY on TradingViewCharts drawn with TradingView Lightweight Charts™ · Copyright (с) 2025 TradingView, Inc. Daily candles from our broker price feed, 2 October 2023 to 2 October 2026 (bid prices; the day closes at 17:00 New York); weekly and monthly candles are built from them. Drag to pan; scroll, drag the time axis or pinch to zoom. On a touch screen, drag the price scale with one finger to move the chart up or down, with two to stretch it, and double-tap it to reset. The 15-minute, hourly and four-hour candles come from the same feed and load when you pick them; older ones load by themselves as you scroll left, back to the start of the archive. Four-hour candles open at 17:00, 21:00, 01:00, 05:00, 09:00 and 13:00 New York, as on TradingView. Their last candle is still forming and refreshes about every minute while the view is open. On those views the retail positioning is drawn as steps: it is a snapshot every 3 hours, not a minute-by-minute reading. Retail positioning: daily snapshots since 12 May 2025, 464 so far · latest 56% long at 2 Oct 21:00 UTC; on the weekly and monthly views it is the average of the trading days. From 60% on one side it counts as crowded and from 75% as extreme, the same three states the Trade Panel shows. The positioning is refreshed every 3 hours on weekdays, not real-time.
