EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Further consolidation looks likely near-term

EUR/JPY’s weekly range appears supported in the 128.30/20 band so far.
Immediately to the upside emerges the YTD high near 130.00.

EUR/JPY adds to Monday’s small gains and edge slightly higher, although still capped by the 129.00 neighbourhood so far this week.

If bulls regain control of the sentiment, then the next target will emerge at the 2021 highs just below 130.00 (February 25). Further north of this area comes in 130.14 (November 7 2018) ahead of the summer 2018 high at 131.98 (July 17).

Reinforcing the idea of extra gains, EUR/JPY keeps trading above the immediate support line (off November 19 2020 low) near 126.80, where also converges the 50-day SMA.

Looking at the broader picture, while above the 200-day SMA at 124.35 the outlook for the cross should remain constructive.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

Gold moves closer to $5,150 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold climbs back above $5,100 during the Asian session on Wednesday, moving away from an over one-week low, touched the previous day. Sustained safe-haven flow, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, acts as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI later today.
