USD/JPY refreshes intraday high around 129.15 as it pierces the neckline of a two-day-old inverse head-and-shoulders (H&S) bullish chart pattern during early Tuesday, retreating to 129.00 by the press time.

Not only the inverse H&S confirmation but the upbeat RSI (14), not overbought, also adds strength to the USD/JPY rebound from the lowest levels since late May 2022.

As a result, the Yen pair buyers are well-set to approach the 130.00 round figure before aiming for the theoretical target surrounding 130.40.

It’s worth observing that the RSI line is approaching the overbought territory and may probe the USD/JPY bulls around 130.40, if not then the 200-HMA level surrounding 131.25 will be in focus. Additionally, the 131.00 round figure could act as an extra filter towards the north.

On the flip side, the resistance-turned-support line of the stated inverse H&S, around 128.75 by the press time, restricts the immediate downside of the USD/JPY pair ahead of the 50-HMA level near 128.30.

In a case where the Yen pair remains bearish past 128.30, the monthly low around 127.20 and May 2022 low near 126.35 will gain the market’s attention.

Overall, USD/JPY is likely to witness further recovery but the upside room appears limited.

GBP/USD defends 1.3300 after strong UK PMI data

Following Thursday's sharp decline, GBP/USD clings to small gains above 1.3300 in the American session on Friday, supported by the upbeat UK Retail Sales and July PMI data. Nevertheless, the pair's upside remains capped as investors cling to a cautious stance amid a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The US July PMI data failed to trigger relevant price action.

EUR/USD remains below 1.1400 after mixed US PMIs

EUR/USD pressures daily lows below the 1.1400 mark in the American session on Friday. Mixed S&P Global PMIs, as manufacturing output contracted while services activity expanded in July, triggered no relevant market reaction. The focus remains in Middle East developments and inflation-related concerns.

Gold holds above $4,050 but momentum still missing

Gold builds on its modest intraday bounce and climbs above the $4,050 level on Friday, hitting a fresh daily high amid a modest US Dollar pullback. The fundamental backdrop, however, warrants some caution before confirming that the pullback from an over two-week high, touched on Wednesday, has run its course and positioning for any meaningful upside.

Ethereum: Derivatives interest in ETH improves, but signs of caution remain

Ethereum is hovering slightly below the $1,900 level, down 3% on Thursday following a slight expansion in derivatives interest. The top altcoin's open interest has increased to 14.60 million ETH, marking a 600K ETH increase over the past two days and its highest level since June 7.

XRP retreats as ETF interest cools

Ripple (XRP) slides toward the short-term $1.10 support on Friday, as broader crypto market sentiment weighs on crypto assets. The sell-off mainly stems from fears of inflation in the United States (US) amid the ongoing war in the Middle East and rising Oil prices.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
