Next on the downside emerges the 2022 low at 127.90.

EUR/JPY extends the weekly bearishness and revisits the 128.70 region, where some initial contention has emerged so far.

Further losses in EUR/JPY remains well in the pipeline in light of the recent price action and following the risk aversion scenario. That said, a deeper pullback could initially visit the 2022 low at 127.91 (February 24) followed by the December 2021 low in the mid-127.00s (December 20).

Further downside in the cross is likely below the 2-month line near 128.90. On the longer term, the outlook for the cross is seen as negative while below the 200-day SMA, today at 130.34.

EUR/USD flirts with weekly lows near 1.1770

EUR/USD now comes under further selling pressure, breaking below the 1.1800 support to challenge the area of weekly throughs near 1.1770 on Thursday. The pair’s decline comes in response to marked gains in the US Dollar amid steady geopolitical tensions. Ealier in the day, the ECB’s Lagarde delivered cautious remarks, although the currency remained apathetic.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold trims gains, slips back to around $5,170

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday.

In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
