EUR/JPY 1H Analysis – Ascending Channel With Critical Resistance

93
The EUR/JPY pair has been trending steadily inside a well-defined ascending channel, indicating bullish control over the past few weeks. However, price is now approaching a major horizontal resistance zone, aligning with the upper boundary of the channel — a critical area for potential breakout or reversal.

🔍 Chart Structure Breakdown:
🔹 1. Ascending Channel (Trend Continuation Structure)
The pair is respecting both the upper and lower trendlines precisely, forming a bullish parallel channel.

EMAs are aligned bullishly and acting as dynamic support.

Price continues forming higher highs and higher lows, a classic uptrend behavior.

🔹 2. Horizontal Resistance Zone (Purple Box)
The price is currently retesting a key horizontal resistance zone where sellers previously stepped in.

This zone aligns closely with the upper channel boundary, increasing confluence.

We could be witnessing a potential double top or a breakout build-up.

🔹 3. Volume Spike & Buyer Strength
Recent candles show increased volume — a possible signal that institutions are preparing for a larger move.

If volume increases further on breakout, it would confirm continuation.



🧭 Scenarios to Watch:
🟢 Bullish Scenario:
A strong breakout above the purple zone with a full-body candle close could signal:

A breakout from the ascending channel.

Fresh bullish momentum possibly targeting the 170.800–171.500 zone.

Ideal entry: On bullish retest of the breakout zone.

SL below breakout candle; TP at upper Fibonacci extensions.

🔴 Bearish Scenario (Double Top Rejection):
If price rejects the resistance zone again, forming a lower high or engulfing candle:

Expect a short-term pullback toward the midline or lower channel, around 168.500–168.000.

Bearish divergence with RSI or volume may confirm weakness.

This would create a Double Top inside the channel, often leading to a deeper correction.

📌 Conclusion:
EURJPY is at a make-or-break zone. The bullish structure remains intact, but the price must break and hold above the resistance to confirm strength. Until then, this could be a short-term exhaustion point.

🔄 Stay flexible. Watch volume, candle closes, and EMA behavior for confluence on your trade setup.
