EURJPY Price Analysis: Further consolidation appears likely below 147.00

EURJPY adds to Tuesday’s decline, always below the 147.00 region.
Extra range bound should not be ruled out in the near term.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EURJPY loses further momentum following the rejection from the 147.00 neighbourhood earlier in the week.

The cross seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase, with the upper end of the range limited by the 147.00 area. A breakout of the latter should open the door to extra gains to, initially, the 2022 top at 148.40 (October 21) ahead of the round level at 150.00.

In the short term the upside momentum is expected to persist while above the October lows near 141.00.

In the longer run, while above the key 200-day SMA at 137.96, the constructive outlook is expected to remain unchanged.

GBP/USD bulls seem hesitant as Hormuz ship attack supports safe-haven USD

The GBP/USD pair sticks to a positive bias for the second straight day, albeit it remains below the previous day's swing high and trades just below the 1.3200 mark during the Asian session on Friday. Furthermore, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution before positioning for any meaningful recovery from November 2025 lows, around the 1.3140 region, touched on Wednesday.

EUR/USD holds above mid-1.1300s amid Hormuz risks, bearish setup

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's modest recovery gains and oscillates in a narrow band during the Asian session. Spot prices, however, hold above mid-1.1300s and the lowest level since May 2025, set on Thursday, warranting some caution for bearish traders.

Gold recovers early lost ground; bearish bias remains amid Fed hike bets

Gold builds on its modest intraday bounce from the $3,983-$3982 region, and climbs to the top end of its daily range heading into the European session. The US Dollar remains depressed below its highest level since May 2025 set on Thursday, amid receding Federal Reserve rate-hike bets. This is seen as a key factor lending some support to the commodity.

Ripple price clings to $1 as long liquidations deepen bearish trend

Ripple (XRP) trades near the key psychological support level of $1 after losing more than 8% so far this week. CoinGlass liquidation data shows that over 97% XRP long positions were wiped out over the past 24 hours. In addition, derivatives metrics continue to favor the bears.

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.
