  • USD/JPY - 111.99.. Despite hitting a 4-week high of 112.10 on Mon, dlr remained on the back foot in Asia n European morning y'day on cross unwinding in yen b4 rebounding to 112.03 in NY morning, however, price later moved narrowly.

  • On the bigger picture, dlr's fall fm 118.66 (Dec 2016) to 107.32 in 2017 (Sep) confirms uptrend fm 2016 29-month bottom at 99.00 has made a top. Despite a strg rise fm 2018 16-month bottom at 104.57 to 114.55 in Oct, subsequent flash crash to a 9-month low at 104.79 in early Jan suggests correction over. However, dlr's erratic rise to 112.14 in early Mar indicates choppy trading abv 104.57 would continue. As dlr has risen after retreat to 109.71 (Mar low), re-test of 112.14 would be forthcoming next, abv would extend said upmove fm 104.79 to 113. 38 (50% proj. of 104.79-112.14 projected fm 109.71), 'bearish divergences' on the daily indicators should cap price at 114.25 (61.8% proj.).

  • Today, dlr's rebound fm 111.85 to 112.03 suggests pullback fm 112.10 has possibly ended n abv said res extend recent upmove to 112.55 after initial conso- dation, prominent 'bearish divergences' on hourly indicators should cap price below 112.67. Only below 111.58 risks stronger retracement to 111.28.

EUR/USD eases toward 1.1700 as USD recovers

EUR/USD stays on the back foot and declines toward 1.1700 on Friday. The pair faces headwinds from a renewed uptick in the US Dollar as investors look past softer US inflation data. However, the EUR/USD downside appears capped by expectations of the Fed-ECB monetary policy divergence. 

GBP/USD steadies below 1.3400 as traders digest BoE policy update and US inflation data

The GBP/USD pair stalls the previous day's pullback from the vicinity of mid-1.3400s and a nearly two-month high, though it struggles to attract meaningful buyers during the Asian session on Friday. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.3380-1.3385 region, up only 0.05% for the day, amid mixed cues.

Gold stays weak below $4,350 as USD bulls shrug off softer US CPI

Gold holds the previous day's late pullback from the vicinity of the record high and stays in the red below $4,350 in the European session on Friday. The US CPI report released on Thursday pointed to cooling inflationary pressures, but the US Dollar seems resilient amid a fresh bout of short-covering.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple correction slide as BoJ rate decision weighs on sentiment

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple are extending their correction phases after losing nearly 3%, 8%, and 10%, respectively, through Friday.

Ethereum price today: $2,920. The EF noted that Ethereum's growing state could lead to centralization and weaken censorship resistance. The Stateless Consensus team outlined state expiry, state archive and partial statelessness as potential solutions to the growing state load.
