EUR/JPY Trade Idea Going Well - What's Next?

EagleFX Team EagleFX

On Tuesday, the EUR/JPY has traded exactly as we forecasted in the previous update. The EUR/JPY pair fell below 122.740 to trade at 122.250. The demand for safe-haven assets shrunk due to a lack of uncertainty in the market.

However, the war drums in the Middle East and a "new strategic weapon" in North Korea are playing their role today. Either of these seems to have prompted the yen to soar higher versus the Euro today.

Traders are well aware that the Japanese yen carries safe-haven status in events of heightened geopolitical risk, and the recent surge can be due to the same reason.

Support	Pivot Point	Resistance
122.06	122.28	122.62
121.71		122.84
121.15		123.41

On the technical side, the EUR/JPY has tested the 122.750 resistance area and has formed a Doji and bearish engulfing candlestick. On the lower side, the EUR/JPY may find support around 122.170, which marks 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. Violation of this can also extend selling until 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.

EUR/USD makes a U-turn, focus on 1.1900

EUR/USD’s recovery picks up further pace, prompting the pair to retarget the key 1.1900 barrier amid further loss of momentum in the US Dollar on Wednesday.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
