During the North American session, the Euro prolonged its gains versus the Japanese Yen in late trading. Market sentiment remains upbeat; hence, the EUR/JPY trades with gains of 0.44%, at 169.27 at the time of writing.

EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a technical perspective, the EUR/JPY remains upward biased, extending its gains for seven straight days, whereas fears that Japanese authorities could intervene in the Forex markets can limit the upside.

Momentum remains favoring the uptrend, as the Relative Strength Index is in bullish territory and about to become overbought. However, due to the strength of the uptrend, the most extreme level wouldn’t be 70, as most traders would use 80.

With that said, the first key resistance level would be the April 26 high at 169.39. Once surpassed, sellers' next line of defense would be the 170.00 figure, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) high at 171.58.

Conversely, if EUR/JPY retreats and dives below 169.00, that could exert downward pressure on the cross. The first support level would be the confluence of the Kijun-Sen and the Senkou Span A at around 166.93/81, followed by the Tenkan-Sen at 166.68. A breach of the latter will expose the Senkou Span B at 165.90.

GBP/USD trims gains; back to 1.3450-ish

The persistent weakness hurting the Greenback lends support to the British Pound and the rest of the risk-linked assets, sending GBP/USD to new two-day tops past 1.3480 on Wednesday. Indeed, Cable advances for the second day in a row helped by the constant optimism around a potential US-Iran deal.

Taking out the lines in the sand

Good Day... And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! Well, just as I suspected, my beloved Cardinals' bats went silent last night in the Bronx, and they lost 0-2... The Yankees' bats were exactly a murderer's row, but they hit 2 homers and won. I said yesterday that the song : Just Once In My Life, could be the Cardinals' song after hitting 5 home runs the previous night!

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
