EUR/JPY remains capped below the 164.00 mark, further upside looks favorable

  • EUR/JPY snaps its four-day winning streak below 164.00 on Thursday.
  • The pair holds above the 50- and 100-hour EMA; the RSI indicator stands in bullish territory above 50.
  • The immediate resistance level is seen at 164.22; 163.07 acts as an initial support level for the cross.

The EUR/JPY cross trades with modest intraday losses during the Asian session on Thursday. However, the divergence in the monetary policy between the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) still exerts some pressure on the Japanese Yen (JPY) and lends support to the EUR/JPY cross. EUR/JPY currently trades around 163.93, down 0.15% for the day.

From a technical perspective, EUR/JPY holds above the 50- and 100-hour Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with an upward slope on the four-hour chart, which supports the buyers for the time being. It’s worth noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is located in the bullish territory above 50, indicating that further upside looks favorable.

The immediate resistance level for the cross is seen at the year-to-date (YTD) high of 164.22. Further north, the cross will see the next barrier near the psychological round mark at 165.00, followed by 165.50.

On the flip side, a low of November 15 at 163.07 acts as an initial support level for EUR/JPY. The additional downside filter to watch is the 50-hour EMA at 162.15. The critical contention level is located at the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 161.52. A breach of the latter will see a drop to the 100-hour EMA at 161.05.

GBP/USD loses ground below 1.3250 in the European session on Tuesday. Political uncertainty in the United Kingdom continues to weigh on the British Pound, while the US Dollar capitalizes on the risk-off mood and hawkish Fed bets.

EUR/USD stays below 1.1450 after weak German PMI data

EUR/USD struggles to stage a rebound and trades below 1.1450 in the European session on Tuesday, after the data from Germany showed that the Composite PMI declined to 48 in June from 48.8 May.

Traders now await PMI data for the Eurozone, and the United States.

Gold drops to nearly two-week low, seems vulnerable amid Fed hike bets, bullish USD

Gold adds to its Asian session losses, and drops to a nearly two-week low, around the $4,115 region in the last hour amid a bullish US Dollar. Despite positive signals from US-Iran peace talks, widespread skepticism remains toward a final deal. This helps the USD in preserving its recent strong gains to the highest level since May 2025.

Bears cap Solana below $75 as ETF, retail demand wanes

Solana edges below $72 risking a third consecutive day of losses that could erase the 5% gains from Friday. SOL-focused Exchange Traded Funds reflect muted demand from institutional investors following a minor recovery last week. Meanwhile, retail trading activity hints at a bearish positional buildup.

Big day of PMIs ahead

In the euro area, June flash PMIs are released. Most respondents will likely have answered after the US-Iran deal, yet the impact of lower oil prices is unlikely to already show up in activity data. We expect manufacturing to edge down to 50.9 (May: 51.6), while we expect services to see a modest improvement to 48.8 (May: 47.7).

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
