The EUR/JPY pair continues to move sideways as it has been the case since last Friday, holding around 126.70, near 1-month highs.

Bullish but limited

Earlier today the pair peaked at 126.78, the strongest since March 20 amid an improvement in risk appetite. But it failed to extend gains as equity prices trimmed gains. It kept trading sideways above 126.50, with the chart still pointing to the upside.

The price range so far on Monday has been of 35 pips, one of the lowest in months. Volatility among crosses remains low as USD/JPY traded most of the day around 112.00 and EUR/USD moved between 1.1325 and 1.1297.

Levels to watch

To the upside, the immediate resistance is the upper limit of the current range at 126.75/80, followed by 127.00 and 127.35. On the flip side, immediate support is the lower limit at 126.45/50 and then 126.10 and 125.65.

EUR/USD holds losses below 1.1850 ahead of FOMC Minutes

EUR/USD stays on the back foot below 1.1850 in the European session on Wednesday, pressured by renewed US Dollar demand and reports that ECB President Lagarde will step down before the end of her term. Traders now look forward to the Minutes of the Fed's January monetary policy meeting for fresh signals on future rate cuts.

GBP/USD defends 1.3550 after UK inflation data

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
