EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Above 144.00 comes the 2022 high

EUR/JPY extends the sharp bounce beyond the 143.00 mark.
The breakout of 144.04 should open the door to the YTD high.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY remains well bid and trades in multi-session peaks above the 143.00 yardstick on Tuesday.

The continuation of the rebound from last week’s lows remains well in place for the time being. That said, if the cross breaks above the weekly top at 144.04 (September 20), it could then challenge the 2022 peak at 145.63 (September 12).

In the meantime, while above the key 200-day SMA at 135.97, the constructive outlook for the cross should remain unchanged.

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold remains below $5,200 despite tariff jitters and geopolitical risks

Gold is seen consolidating in a range below the $5,200 mark during the Asian session on Friday amid mixed cues. Trade jitters, along with the risk of a potential US-Iran war, act as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish outlook keeps the US Dollar close to the monthly high and caps the non-yielding yellow metal. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to register gains for the fourth straight week, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.
