EUR/JPY prints solid gains of more than 0.90% on Friday after the EUR/USD rallied sharply towards a daily high of 1.0600, which lifted the cross-currency pair towards a four-day high of 158.26 before reversing toward current exchange rates at around 158.05.

From a technical perspective, the EUR/JPY remains consolidated in the daily chart despite breaking above the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), which is usually seen as a bullish signal, but immediate resistance would cap the Euro’s intentions of higher prices. If the pair aims higher, the first resistance is seen at the October 2 high of 158.47, followed by the September 13 daily high of 158.65, before challenging 159.00

On the flip side, if EUR/JPY drops inside the Kumo, it could dive towards the Senkou Span A at 156.45 before challenging the bottom of the Kumo at 156.49. Once those two levels are cleared, the pair could aim towards the October 3 daily/weekly low of 154.34.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP rebounds on rising on-chain activity

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
