EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Ends the week bearishly, tumbles below 160.00

EUR/JPY records significant weekly losses, closing down by more than 2.20%.
A key focus for traders is the Ichimoku Cloud support around the 158.00 level, which could accelerate the downtrend toward 154.00.
For a shift back to bullish resumption, EUR/JPY must reclaim the Kijun-Sen at 161.00 and surpass the recent cycle low at 161.24, with the Tenkan-Sen at 161.68 up next.

The EUR/JPY closed the week with a negative tone, down by 1% on Friday, for a total of more than 2.20% weekly losses, and shifts bearish after breaking key support levels on Friday. At the time of writing, the EUR/JPY exchanges hands at 159.73, following a fall of more than 160 pips from a daily high of 161.77.

The pair shifted bearish, though it’s pending breaching support at the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), at around the 158.00 area. Once the EUR/JPY extends its losses below that price level, sellers will target the October 3 swing low of 154.34, ahead of the July 28 low of 151.40

On the other hand, EUR/JPY needs to reclaim the Kijun-Sen at 161.00 before challenging the most recent cycle low at 161.24, the November 21 low. If those levels are surrendered, the next stop would e the Tenkan-sen at 161.68.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
