EUR/JPY Price Analysis: No change to the consolidative theme

EUR/JPY fades Monday’s drop and climbs to the 158.00 region.
Further side-lined trade appears favoured so far.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY sets aside Monday’s small pullback and resumes the upside to the boundaries of the 158.00 zone on Tuesday.

In the meantime, the cross remains stuck within the consolidative range and the breakout of it exposes a visit to the so far monthly high of 158.65 (September 13) prior to the 2023 top at 159.76 (August 30), which precedes the key round level at 160.00.

On the downside, the so far monthly low of 154.34 (October 3) emerges as the initial contention in case of bearish attempts.

So far, the longer term positive outlook for the cross appears favoured while above the 200-day SMA, today at 150.00.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
