Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY accelerates gains and trespasses the 141.00 barrier, or multi-week highs, on Tuesday.

Extra gains in the cross remains favoured for the time being, with the next target now emerging at the weekly top at 142.32 (July 21) ahead of the 2022 peak at 144.27 (June 28).

While above the 200-day SMA at 134.60, the prospects for the pair should remain constructive.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries.
