EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Recovery stalled near the 200-day SMA. Initial support is located at the 100-day SMA at 129.41

Today’s bullish attempt in EUR/JPY run out of steam in the mid-130.00s, coincident with the 10-day SMA and close to the critical 200-day SMA, today at 130.82.
In the meantime, the bearish note in the cross remains well and sound as long as the resistance line at 132.83 caps.
The resumption of the downtrend should meet initial support at yesterday’s low at 129.21, seconded by September’s low at 127.86.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday.

Gold remains on the defensive, eroding part of the recent multi-day advance and managing to trade back above the $5,100 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal initially dropped just below the critical $5,000 threshold on the back of the persistent strength of the Greenback, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and investors' repricing of Fed rate cuts.
