The USD/JPY currency pair sidelined and consolidated in the narrow range between the 109.29 - 109.40, mainly due to the lack of any fresh push. As of writing, the USD/JPY currency pair is trading at 109.32. The currency pair dropped from 109.60 to low of 109.18 overnight as the U.S. Treasury Yields also fell in the wake of a weak Philly Fed report.

On the other hand, the United States' ten-year yields are also little changed at 1.91% but remained above 1.94% before the release of Philly Fed and unemployment claims data. Now traders are eyeing the U.S. GDP figures, which are due shortly.

Taking a look at the 4-hour timeframe, the USD/JPY is range-bound in a tight trading range of 109.400 - 109.200. The USD/JPY completes 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 109.200, which is now working as support around 109.200.

Support	Pivot Point	Resistance
109.17	109.38	109.58

108.56		110.21

The 50 periods EMA is also supporting the USD/JPY pair above 109.200 level today. However, the RSI and MACD are holding in the bearish zone.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar.

GBP/USD clings to gains above 1.3600

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January. Earlier in the day, the BoE’s Pill suggested that UK inflation could settle around 2.5%, above the bank’s goal.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked retracement, as bargain-hunters seem to have stepped in.
