EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Technical correction has further legs to go

EUR/JPY adds to Friday’s pullback around 156.40.
Further upside could target the weekly top past 163.00.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY faces some renewed downside pressure and retreats from recent multi-year peaks in levels just shy of the 157.00 barrier.

In the meantime, further gains appear on the cards, while a clear breakout of the 2023 high at 156.93 (June 22) should meet the next relevant hurdle not before the weekly high of 163.09 (August 22 2008).

The ongoing overbought conditions of the cross, however, are indicative that a deeper knee-jerk should not be ruled out at some point in the short-term horizon.

So far, further upside looks favoured while the cross trades above the 200-day SMA, today at 144.82.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
