EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Sidelined near term with attempt to 132.00 on the cards

The cross is now attempting some consolidation after the recent rejection from the key 200-day SMA in the 131.90 region.
The positive prospects for the cross remains well and sound, as it keeps trading above the daily cloud.
Another move to re-test the 132.00 neighbourhood stays alive as long as the cloud and the short-term support line (today at 129.00) continue to underpin.
In addition, the daily RSI reads 59, while the ADX at 18 notes the weak momentum behind the trend.

EUR/USD keeps the offered stance just above 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold trims losses, back below $5,400

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
