USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Pullback from six-week highs above 112.00 could be short-lived

USD/JPY's pullback from the six-week high of 112.08 to 111.83 is likely associated with the bearish divergence of the 14-hour relative strength index (RSI), although the short-term outlook still remains bullish, as the 5-day and 10-day moving averages (MAs) are trending north.
More importantly, the pair closed yesterday above the crucial resistance of 111.83 (Aug. 29 high), signaling a revival of the rally from the Aug. 21 low of 109.77. As a result, the pair looks set to test the highs above 113.00 in the next couple of weeks.
On the downside, a daily close below the 10-day MA would abort the bullish view.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
