The EUR/JPY finished Thursday’s session flat and remained trading sideways ahead of December’s release of the Japanese Consumer Price Index (CPI). As the Asian session begins, the EUR/JPY is trading at 139.06, almost flat.

EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The EUR/JPY daily chart portrays the pair as neutral-downward biased, as it remains below the daily Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). Also, the 20-day EMA at 140.29 is about to cross below the 200-day EMA at 140.14, which would resume the downtrend in the near term. Solid support is found around the last week’s low of 138.01, tested on Thursday, though the EUR/JPY quickly rebounded towards the 139.00 figure.

Oscillators-wise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in the bearish territory is flat, while the Rate of Change (RoC), portrays buyers losing momentum. Therefore, the EUR/JPY remains sideways, awaiting a possible breakout.

The EUR/JPY first support would be 138.00. A breach of the latter would send the pair aiming towards 137.38, the YTD low, followed by the September 26 pivot low at 137.36. on the upside, the EUR/JPY first resistance would be the 200-day EMA at 140.14, which, once cleared, could expose additional resistance levels. The 20-day EMA at 140.30 would be put in play, followed by the 141.00 figure.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low. Sustained safe-haven flows, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, act as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.
