GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls approach key EMAs during seven-day rise

GBP/JPY takes the bids near three week high above 136.50.
100-day and 200-day EMA probe the pair’s sustained break of 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
RSI recovery from oversold conditions suggests further upside.

GBP/JPY refreshes the multiday high while rising to 136.56 during the early Thursday. In doing so, the pair keeps the previous day’s run-up beyond 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of June-September upside while confronting the 100-day EMA.

Although recovery in RSI indicates the pair’s ability to cross the immediate EMA resistance near 136.60, the 200-day EMA level near 136.75 can question the quote’s further advances.

Should GBP/JPY bulls keep the reins past-136.75, a 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 137.22 will appear on the market player’s radar.

Meanwhile, sellers targeting the September month’s low of 133.04 will take entries once the GBP/JPY prices decline below 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 135.93.

During declines between 135.93 and 133.04, 135.0 and 134.30 are likely stops that the bears may avail.

EUR/USD sticks to positive bias above 1.1800 as trade jitters undermine USD

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's modest gains and attracts some buyers for the second straight day on Thursday amid a softer US Dollar. Spot prices, however, lack bullish conviction and trade around the 1.1815-1.1820 area during the Asian session, up 0.10% for the day.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Apart from this, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.
