GBP/USD Price Analysis: Wednesday's Doji teases bulls around 1.3800

GBP/USD holds on to corrective bounce off weekly low.
Bullish candlestick above 200-DMA favors further consolidation of previous losses.

GBP/USD remains sidelined near 1.3800 amid Thursday’s Asian session, following a volatile day that marked a candlestick suggesting trend-reversal.

The odds of the pair’s up-moves also benefit from the moves beyond 200-DMA, as well as inside the falling wedge bullish chart pattern. Additionally, the receding bearish bias of the MACD also keeps the cable buyers hopeful.

It should, however, be noted that the upper line of a three-week-old falling wedge, near 1.3875 will initially test the anticipated recovery, a break of which could propel GBP/USD bulls to the 1.4000 psychological magnet.

Though, a five-week-old falling trend line near 1.4035 could challenge the pair’s further upside.

Meanwhile, pullback moves may aim for the latest trough surrounding 1.3730 ahead of highlighting the support line of the wedge, close to the 1.3700 round figure.

It’s worth observing that the GBP/USD sellers will have to conquer the 200-DMA level of 1.3668 to dominate further even if they manage to defy the bullish chart formation by breaking the 1.3700 support.

USD/JPY stays below 160.50 as markets assess BoJ decision

USD/JPY fluctuates in a relatively narrow range above 160.00 on Tuesday as markets assess the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) decision to raise the policy rate by 25 at the June meeting. Meanwhile, investors keep a close eye on news coming out of the Middle East, while preparing for the critical Fed meeting.

AUD/USD trades in tight channel near 0.7050 despite hawkish RBA message

AUD/USD trades modestly lower on the day at around 0.7050 on Tuesday as markets adopt a cautious stance amid a lack of details surrounding the US-Iran peace agreement. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) left the door open for possible policy tightening after leaving the interest rate unchanged, as expected, at the June meeting but failed to boost the Australian Dollar.

Gold trims gains, approaches $4,300

Gold now surrenders part of its initial advance and recedes to the vicinity of the $4,350 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The early enthusiasm sparked by the US-Iran peace deal has faded somewhat, prompting investors to adopt a more prudent stance as they await further details of the agreement and key guidance from the Fed.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it.

BoJ just hiked and US-Iran deal is on the table: Why Japanese Yen is still around 160.00

The Bank of Japan lifted interest rates from 0.75% to 1.00%, its highest level in more than three decades. The landmark move aims to stabilize a sharply weakening Japanese Yen, but by looking at the immediate market reaction, it doesn’t look like it’s going to work.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
