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 revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

Gold challenges its 200-day SMA near $4,530

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
