The EUR/JPY pair is pulling back from the highest levels since 2019 and after being unable to hold above 127.00. The correction found support at 126.45 and rebounded, rising above 126.90.

The technical outlook points to the upside. The euro needs to break and hold above 127.00 to clear the way to more gains, probably targeting the 2019 high at the 127.50 zone.

A retreat below 126.50 would ease the bullish pressure, while a close under 126.00 should be followed by a sharper correction with EUR/JPY under key short-term moving averages. The next strong support stands at 124.85/125.00, followed by an uptrend line from July, today at 122.80.

EUR/USD eases marginally, back to 1.1800

EUR/USD navigates a narrow range on Thursday, hovering around the 1.1800 neighbourhood in a context of humble gains in the US Dollar. The pair’s lacklustre performance come amid the unabated trade uncertainty, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the cautious tone from the ECB’s Lagarde.

GBP/USD retreats from tops, approaching 1.3540

GBP/USD partially sets aside Wednesday’s strong advance and recedes to the 1.3540 region on Thursday. Cable’s modest retracement follows the equally acceptable gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold clings to gains just below $5,200, focus on geopolitics
