EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Initial resistance comes around 148.00

EUR/JPY’s recovery appears to have met initial hurdle near 148.00.
The continuation of the rebound targets the weekly high near 149.30.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

The ongoing upside momentum in EUR/JPY struggles to surpass the 148.00 region with conviction on Tuesday.

Once the 148.00 area is surpassed, the cross should be able to challenge the weekly peak at 149.26 (May 8). The surpass of this level could pave the way for a potential test of the YTD high at 151.61 (May 2).

So far, further upside looks favoured while the cross trades above the 200-day SMA, today at 143.11.

EUR/USD posts modest gains above 1.1650 amid weaker US Dollar

EUR/USD posts modest gains above 1.1650 in the European session on Monday. The prospect of a US Federal Reserve rate cut at its December meeting on Wednesday keeps the US Dollar undermined across the board, supporting the pair amid strong German Industrial Production data.

GBP/USD kicks off the new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow trading band above 1.3300 in European trading on Monday.

Gold holds firm above $4,200; awaits Fed rate decision on Wednesday before the next leg up

Gold sticks to its modest intraday gains through the early European session, though it lacks bullish conviction and remains confined in a one-week-old trading range. The growing acceptance that the US Federal Reserve will lower borrowing costs again this week keeps the US Dollar depressed near a one-month low and acts as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Silver just hit a new all-time high. Neither did gold, nor mining stocks. They all reversed on an intraday basis, but silver’s move to new highs makes it still bullish overall, while the almost complete reversals in gold and miners make the latter technically bearish.
