EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: The cross flirts with the 122.00 handle. The 55-day SMA remains a tough barrier

EUR/JPY keeps the sideline theme in the upper end of the range, advancing for the sixth consecutive session today although still unable to break above 122.00 the figure on a convincing fashion.
Furthermore, the cross needs to surpass the 55-day SMA at 122.51 to alleviate immeidate downside pressure and re-shift its focus to the 123.00 zone and above. Further up emerges July top at 123.35.
In the meantime, the bearish outlook on the cross remains intact below the short-term resistance line, today at 122.78.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

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 retains positive bias for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to underpin safe-haven assets. However, a bullish US Dollar could keep the bullion below its highest level since late January, set on Monday, warranting caution before positioning for any further appreciation.
