EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Focus has re-shifted to the 122.00 area in the near term

The cross remains under downside pressure and is attempting a sideline theme in the lower end of the range, all against the backdrop of the sharp decline in place since mid-April.
A test of recent lows at the 122.00 neighbourhood and probably below remains well on the cards as long as the multi-month resistance line, today at 125.92, caps the upside.
Bouts of buying interest should meet interim resistance at the 10-day SMA at 123.07 ahead of 123.61 (high May 10).

EUR/USD recovers some early losses driven by rising energy prices amid US-Iran war

The EUR/USD pair claws back some of its early losses during the late Asian trading session on Monday, but is still 0.25% down to near 1.1780. Earlier in the day, the Euro declined sharply against the US Dollar as investors shifted to the safe-haven fleet amid the brutal war between Iran, Israel, and the United States, which broke out over the weekend.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple under pressure as key supports face breakdown risk

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices trade on the back foot at the start of this week on Monday, after extending losses in the previous week. BTC is on the brink of a breakdown, ETH is capped below key resistance, and XRP risks a crack of the trendline.

The market is paying for insurance, not apocalypse

As expected, this morning felt less like a Monday market open and more like a fire drill. Futures screens flickered red. S&P contracts down almost 1%. Nasdaq off 1.2%. Brent leaped 13% through $80. Gold rose 1.6% toward $5350 before paring some gains. The dollar is strutting mildly. The Swiss franc is quietly doing what it always does in a storm, catching some safe-haven flows.
