EUR/JPY adds to the weekly leg lower and breaks below the key support at 142.00, or 2-day lows, on Wednesday.

In case the downside accelerates, the next support of note emerges at the 200-day SMA, today at 140.79. A sustainable drop below the latter exposes extra weakness to, initially, the 138.00 neighbourhood.

The constructive outlook for EUR/JPY is seen unchanged above the 200-day SMA for the time being.

Gold shifts its attention to $5,600 on fligh-to-safety mood

Gold climbs to levels last seen in late January past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce on Monday. The yellow metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by incresing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the consequent demand for safer assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains under pressure near the key support level of $65,700. Trading at $66,400 at the time of writing on Monday, a breakdown below this critical level would suggest a deeper correction ahead.

Pi Network Price Forecast: Core team offloads supply, weighing on PI recovery

Pi Network hovers below $0.1700, broadly steady at press time on Monday, attempting a recovery after a 2% loss the previous day. Sunday’s decline aligned with nearly 49 million PI tokens offloaded by the Pi Foundation, implying a spike in supply pressure that capped the prevailing four-day recovery.
