EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Experiences minor pullback below 156.00, but uptrend remains in play

EUR/JPY registers losses below the 156.00 area due to mixed market sentiment, but the overall uptrend remains.
The bearish-harami candlestick pattern suggests a potential pullback while maintaining the upward bias.
EUR/JPY’s key support levels are the Tenkan-Sen line at 155.26, the Senkou Span A at 155.01, and the Kijun-Sen levels at 154.76.
For buyers to regain control, EUR/JPY must not achieve a daily close below 156.00. Resistance levels lie at the July 19 high of 157.20, and (YTD) high at 157.99.

Late in the North American session, the EUR/JPY registered losses below the 156.00 area amid a mixed market sentiment triggered by upbeat US economic data, underpinning safe-haven currencies in the FX space. At the time of writing, the EUR/JPY exchanges hand at 155.99, after hitting a daily high of 156.62.

EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The EUR/JPY uptrend remains in play, but today’s price action, coupled with Wednesday, is forming a two-candlestick chart pattern called ‘bearish-harami,’ which suggests the EUR/JPY could be ready for a pullback while maintaining its upward bias.

It should be said that on the EUR/JPY way down, the Tenkan-Sen would be the first support at 155.26. A breach of the latter will expose the Senkou Span A at 155.01, followed by the Kijun-Sen levels emerging at 154.76.

On the flip side, for EUR/JPY buyers to regain control, they must keep prices from achieving a daily close below 156.00. Once done, buyers could remain hopeful for higher prices, with the first resistance being the July 19 high at 157.20, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) high at 157.99.

GBP/USD holds range near 1.3500 after UK Q2 GDP

GBP/USD keeps its range near the 1.3500 psychological mark in the European session on Thursday. The mixed UK GDP and industrial data failed to inspire the British Pound. Meanwhile, the US Dollar stabilizes after the US CPI data-led sell-off, checking any upside attempts in the pair.

EUR/USD flatlines above 1.1500 as US Dollar stablizes ahead of PPI

EUR/USD is trading modestly flat above 1.1500 in European trading hours on Thursday. The pair stalls its rebound as the US Dollar consolidates losses incurred after the release of July's Consumer Price Index report. Inflation in the US moderated across a broad range of goods and services, cooling expectations for an aggressive Federal Reserve rate hike in September and weighing on the Greenback. The US PPI data is next in focus.

Gold weakens further below $4,400 as USD sticks to gains amid Fed bets, Iran tensions

Gold extends its intraday retracement slide from the highest level since June 5, around the $4,450 area touched earlier this Thursday, and slides further below the $4,400 mark heading into the European session. The initial market reaction to signs of moderating US inflation fades quickly as investors remain worried that higher energy prices will rekindle inflationary pressures.

XRP holds at make-or-break level, ADA and SOL risk 50-day EMA breakout

Top altcoins, including Ripple, Cardano, and Solana, are facing downside pressure, holding at crucial support levels. The technical outlook for XRP, ADA, and SOL indicates a mild bearish bias as downside pressure mounts.

Gold has priced a Fed pause. The hike is still coming

July inflation landed exactly where the consensus had it, on all four lines of the release, and Gold responded by adding around 1% and holding fast near $4,400/ounce, trading at its highest since early June. A print that surprises nobody is not supposed to move a metal that far.

Why is Crude Oil priced for a reopening the ships haven't made?

Fourteen vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. Before the war, the count ran near 120 a day. In the sessions since the waterway was publicly declared open, Brent has drifted back to $87 and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to $81, both a little lower again on Wednesday, with daily momentum on each unwound from the top of its range in late July to the low twenties now.
