USD/JPY chart analysis

The technical analysis of the USDJPY price chart on 1-hour timeframe shows USDJPY: H1 is attempting to retrace up above the 200-period moving average MA(200). The price reversed its rising after hitting a weekly high a day ago. We believe the bullish movement will resume after the price breaches above the upper bound of the Donchian channel at 114.01. A level above this can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to buy. The stop loss can be placed below 113.79. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal low indicator, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200 after hot Chinese CPI data

AUD/USD is extending its consolidative price action above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Wednesday, uninspired by hot Chinese CPI and PPI data. Meanwhile, rising RBA rate-hike bets act as a tailwind for the Aussie amid Yen-inspired US Dollar weakness. Traders await the release of US inflation figures later in the week for fresh impetus.

USD/JPY stays in red near 153.50 amid aggressive BoJ hike bets

USD/JPY keeps the bearish tone intact at around 153.50 during European trading hours on Wednesday. A strong Reuters Tankan business survey adds to the case for continued BoJ policy normalisation and supports the Japanese Yen. This, along with a broadly weaker US Dollar, keeps the pair close to a nearly seven-month low set on Tuesday.

Gold recovers further from one-week low, retakes $4.400 amid sustained USD selling

Gold builds on its intraday recovery from a one-week low and reclaims the $4,400 mark heading into the European session on Wednesday. The commodity, for now, seems to have snapped a three-day losing streak amid a weaker US Dollar, which remains depressed near its lowest level in over two weeks amid the Bank of Japan-inspired rally in the Japanese Yen.

Pi Network's rebound holds as momentum improves

Pi Network (PI) extends its recovery on Wednesday, trading above $0.098 after finding support around the 50-day Exponential Moving Average earlier this week. The rebound comes as the Pi Core Team highlights the importance of strengthening its developer ecosystem to expand application-level utility across the network.

Oil, Apple and JPY in focus

Oil prices are rising on Wednesday as tit-for-tat strikes between Iran and the US threaten oil supplies as the two sides battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Stock futures have switched their attention from a strong earnings season to the challenges ahead, including a 10-year Treasury yield that is hovering close to the 4.8% level.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
