USD/JPY bulls remain in charge but there are prospects of a pullback for the coming sessions and days ahead. The following illustrates the market structure on the daily and 4-hour time frames.

USD/JPY daily chart

The price of USD/JPY has corrected from the lower quarter of the 130 area in a determined two-day rally to a 50% mean reversion of the prior bearish impulse. From here, should the bulls commit, the price could be attracted to a higher volume area on the chart where there is a price imbalance aligning with the 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci levels.

USD/JPY H4 chart

However, USDJPY's four-hour chart has left behind a W-formation following the recent bullish correction. This is a reversion pattern that would be expected to see a pullback in due course. There are a couple of areas of price imbalances below the current spot. A 50% mean reversion idles between these areas which could be a compelling area of interest near 132.30.

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 attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions persist ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks, which underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Additionally, 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.
