EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Target is now at the 119.00 area

EUR/JPY has briefly advanced beyond the118.00 barrier on Wednesday.
Immediately to the upside emerges the key barrier in the 119.00 area.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY is prolonging the upside momentum on the back of the renewed sentiment in the risk complex, managing to reclaim the 118.00, although running out of steam afterwards.

After breaking above the late-April/May tops near 117.80, the cross has now shifted the attention to April’s top in the 119.00 neighbourhood. This resistance is reinforced by the proximity of the 100-day and the 200-day SMAs at 118.92 and 119.25, respectively.

A move above the 200-day SMA should mitigate the downside pressure and allow for extra gains to March’s tops in the 121.00 region.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
