The EUR/JPY pair slipped lower on Monday, falling toward the 163.00 zone as the session closed and ahead of the Asian open. Despite the day’s decline, the broader setup remains constructive, with the pair still holding above critical trendline supports. Momentum readings appear neutral, but the underlying structure is sustained by bullish signals from longer-term indicators.

Technically, the pair maintains its bullish posture. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence signals continued buying interest, while the Relative Strength Index remains neutral near the midline around 53. Other tools such as the Awesome Oscillator and Bull Bear Power also print neutral readings, reflecting a short-term consolidation rather than a shift in directional momentum.

What reinforces the positive tone is the alignment of key moving averages. The 20-day, 100-day, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages are all rising and lie beneath current prices, providing a strong technical floor. The 30-day Exponential and Simple Moving Averages offer further dynamic support in the 162.10–162.15 area, helping contain deeper pullbacks.

Support levels are seen at 162.40, 162.26, and 162.14. Resistance is marked at 162.67, 162.76, and 163.60. A sustained bounce from current levels could see EUR/JPY test the upper end of its recent range, while a break below support would challenge the bullish case in the near term.

EUR/USD keeps the offered stance just above 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold trims losses, back below $5,400

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
