GBP/JPY consolidates after pushing above the May high (196.41) earlier this week, but the pullback in the exchange rate may turn out to be temporary as it holds above the monthly low (192.73).

Gold prices are poised to mark a third consecutive daily advance with XAU/USD clearing the June opening-range on news of war breaking out in the Middle East.

A rally of more than 1.7% extended into...
EUR/JPY is on the cusp of confirming an evening star pattern, setting up a potential short if the price closes around current levels or lower. 165.00 remains key support. It’s already been tested today before bouncing—price behaviour we’ve seen before. It often trades through but rarely closes below with conviction, putting focus on how it trades into and out of...

In turn, a break/close above the $70.30 (61.8% Fibonacci...

The subsequent decline is now extending more than 2.9% off the May highs with initial support within striking distance. Weekly momentum has now dropped to the lowest levels since 2021 and...
With equity markets well off their earlier lows, the USD/JPY is also bouncing back, although it is not out of the woods yet with risks remaining tilted to the downside amid signs of weak inflation data and Trump's tariff threats.

Having surged more than 20% from the April lows, we could be nearing a turning point for Nasdaq 100 futures. Bullish momentum is showing signs of shifting lower, while Wednesday’s inverted hammer candle—on a day when tech stocks were given every excuse to rally thanks to the soft U.S. inflation report and subsequent decline in Treasury yields—warns the rally may...
At the moment, GBP/JPY continues to face steady buying pressure, which has held firm as the yen weakens gradually, driven by a temporary easing in trade war tensions. This has diminished the yen’s appeal as a safe-haven asset in the short term.

Having broken above the important 200-day moving average earlier this week, and with indicators like RSI (14) and MACD pointing to growing topside momentum, a close above $2800 may encourage other bulls to join in the run higher. If the price can hold...
