USD/JPY – EUR/JPY

USDJPY crashed from just below our selling opportunity at 107.50/60 hitting all targets as far as 106.60/50.

EURJPY topped exactly at our target & resistance 122.50/60. If you managed to short we were offered a 50/60 pips profit on the slide to first target 121.00/90...which held. Same levels apply for today.

Daily Analysis

USDJPY managed to hold what I saw as weak support at 106.60/50. First resistance at 107.20/25 stop above 107.35. Sell at 107.50/60, with stops above 107.75. Above here targets 107.90/95 & 108.15 with a selling opportunity at 108.35/45; stops above 108.65.

Shorts at 107.20/25 re-target 106.60/50. I do not see this as much of a support level. A break lower tests minor support at the May low at 106.00/105.95.

EURJPY selling opportunity at 122.50/60 with stops above 122.90. A sustained break above here is a medium term buy signal targeting 123.20/30.

Shorts at 122.50/60 target 121.00/90. Below here meets strong support at 121.60/50 for profit taking on any remaining shorts. Buy at 121.25/15, with stops below 120.95.

EUR/USD flat lines below 1.1900; divergent Fed-ECB expectations offer support

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1835-1.1830 region and oscillates in a narrow band during the Asian session on Thursday. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.1875 area, remaining nearly unchanged for the day and staying within striking distance of an over one-week high, reached on Tuesday, amid mixed cues.

GBP/USD slips heading into the Thursday trading window

Gold holds losses near $5,050 despite renewed USD selling

Gold price trades in negative territory near $5,050 in Thursday's Asian session. The precious metal faces headwinds from stronger-than-expected US employment data, even as the US Dollar sees a bout of fresh selling. All eyes now remain on the next batch of US labor statistics.

Crypto trades through a confidence reset

The cryptocurrency market is navigating a liquidity-driven reset rather than a narrative-driven rally. Bitcoin, Ethereum and major altcoins remain under pressure even as new exchange-traded fund filings continue and selected inflow days appear on the tape.

The market trades the path not the past

The payroll number did not just beat. It reset the tone. 130,000 vs. 65,000 expected, with a 35,000 whisper. 79 of 80 economists leaning the wrong way. Unemployment and underemployment are edging lower. For all the statistical fog around birth-death adjustments and seasonal quirks, the core message was unmistakable. The labour market is not cracking.

XRP sell-off deepens amid weak retail interest, risk-off sentiment

Ripple (XRP) is edging lower around $1.36 at the time of writing on Wednesday, weighed down by low retail interest and macroeconomic uncertainty, which is accelerating risk-off sentiment.
