Factors Impacting EUR/JPY Rate

When it comes to making the most lucrative trade with this pair, it is important to understand what influences its rate.

Prominence Of EUR

Like many modern currencies, the prominent factors that impact the Euro price flow are financial, political, and economic. For instance, many trade decisions regarding the Euro are backed by the European Central Bank’s monthly reports.

These reports can influence the fluctuations in the Euro’s rates, and traders and investors promptly leverage the details as quickly as they are released to determine the flow of the Euro rates.

EUR/JPY Crosses Below 50 Periods EMA – Sell Signal in Play!

The EUR/JPY is trading sideways at 126.564 – 126.105, having crossed below 50 periods EMA. On the higher side, the EUR/JPY may find resistance at the 126.450 level. The EUR/JPY is trading bearish amid a surge in safe-haven appeal. The reason for the bearish trend in the EUR/JPY as prices for crude oil fell, and gold surged.

One of the reasons behind increased safe-haven appeal can be linked with the dip in crude oil prices. Crude oil prices could also be associated with the previous day released downbeat China’s Caixin Manufacturing PMI data, which confirmed that the activity slowed in December. The gauge dropped to 53.00 in December from November’s 54.9, against the expected figures of 54.9. The government PMI also fell to 51.9 in December from 52.1 in November.

Despite the risk-off market sentiment, the broad-based U.S. dollar failed to gain any positive traction and edged lower on the day amid the probability of an additional U.S. financial aid package and speculations that the Fed will keep interest rates lower for a longer period. Apart from this, the optimism over a possible coronavirus vaccine urges investors towards riskier currencies and higher-yielding assets rather than the safe-haven asset, which eventually leads to further losses in the safe-haven U.S. dollar. However, the losses in the U.S. dollar kept the USD/JPY currency pair lower. As of now, the U.S. Dollar Index that tracks the greenback against a bucket of other currencies dropped by 0.04% to 89.812 by 8:49 PM ET (1:49 AM GMT).

On the contrary, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed an approximately 95% success ratio of the leading coronavirus vaccines after two doses, which becomes the key factor that helps the currency pair limit its deeper losses.

The EUR/JPY is likely to find resistance at the 126.420 level; thus, we have opened a sell trade. Check out the trade setup below.



Entry Price – Sell 126.22

Stop Loss – 126.62

Take Profit – 125.82

Risk to Reward – 1:1

Profit & Loss Per Standard Lot = -$400/ +$400

Profit & Loss Per Micro Lot = -$40/ +$40

EUR/JPY Global Macro Analysis – Part 3

EUR/JPY Exogenous Analysis

  • The EU and Japan Current Account to GDP differential

The current accounts have three basic components: net exports, the difference in incomes that countries pay each other, and transfer payments that countries make to each other. A country that has a surplus in international trade has a higher current account to GDP ratio. Since its domestic currency is in higher demand, it tends to appreciate. Conversely, a country with current account deficits will need to buy more foreign currencies to finance its imports – which weakens the domestic currency in the forex market.

In 2020, the Japanese currency account to GDP ratio was expected to drop to 3.5% while that of the EU 3.4%. This means that the 2020 current account to GDP differential between the EU and Japan is -0.1%. In this case, we expect a bullish JPY; hence, we assign a score of -2.

The interest rate differential between the EUR/JPY pair is used to determine whether traders are bullish or bearish. If the interest rate differential is positive, it means that traders can receive higher returns by selling the JPY and buying the EUR since the EUR offers higher returns. Thus, they are bullish on the pair. Conversely, if the interest rate differential is negative, it means that traders can receive higher returns by selling the EUR and buying the JPY, which means they will be bearish on the EUR/JPY pair.

In 2020, the Bank of Japan maintained the interest rates at -0.1% while the ECB maintained at 0%. Therefore, the interest rate differential for the EUR/JPY pair is 0.1%. We assign a score of 2.

  • The EU and Japan GDP Growth Rate differential

The rate at which an economy is growing impacts the strength of the domestic currency in the forex market. Since it is impractical to compare countries’ economic performance using absolute GDP numbers, we will use their growth rate. In this case, if the GDP growth rate differential is positive, it means that the EU economy has been growing at a faster pace than that of Japan hence a bullish outlook for the EUR/JPY pair. Conversely, when negative, it implies a bearish outlook for the pair.

The Japanese economy contracted by 3.5% in the first three quarters of 2020, while the EU economy contracted by 2.9. Thus, the GDP growth rate differential is 0.6%. Thus, we assign a score of 2.

Conclusion

The exogenous factors have a cumulative score of 2. That means we can expect a short-lived bullish trend for the EUR/JPY pair. The weekly EUR/JPY chart shows that the pair has crossed the 200-period MA for the first time since August and attempting a breach of the upper Bollinger band.

We hope you find this article informative. In case of any questions, please let us know in the comments below. Cheers.

Forex Fundamental Analysis

EUR/JPY Global Macro Analysis – Part 1 & 2

Introduction

The global macro analysis of the EUR/JPY forex pair will involve the analysis of endogenous and exogenous economic factors. The endogenous analysis will cover indicators that drive economic growth in the EU and Japan. Exogenous factors will cover the analysis of factors that impact the exchange rate between the Euro and the Japanese Yen.

Ranking Scale

We will use a scale of -10 to +10 to rank the impact of these factors. When the endogenous factors are negative, it implies that they resulted in the depreciation of the local currency. a positive ranking implies that they led to an increase in the value of the domestic currency. The ranking of the endogenous factors is determined by their correlation with the domestic GDP growth.

When the exogenous factors get a negative score, it means they have a bearish impact on the EUR/JPY pair. A positive score implies they’ve had a bullish impact. The ranking of the exogenous factors is determined by their correlation to the exchange rate of the EUR/JPY pair.

EUR Endogenous Analysis – Summary

The endogenous analysis of the EUR has an overall score of -3. Based on the factors we have analyzed, we can expect that the Euro had marginally depreciated in 2020.

JPY Endogenous Analysis – Summary 

A score of -12 implies a strong deflationary effect on the JPY currency pair, and we can conclude that this currency has depreciated this year.

  • Japan Employed Persons

This indicator measures the changes in the number of workers over a particular period. It only tracks the section of the labor force that has attained the minimum working age. Changes in the labor market are seen as leading indicators of economic development.

In October 2020, the number of employed persons in Japan increased to 66.58 million from 66.55 million in September. The number of employed persons in Japan is still lower than the 67.4 million recorded in January. We assign a score of -5.

  • Japan GDP Deflator

The GDP deflator is used to measure the comprehensive changes in the overall inflation of the Japanese economy. Since it measures the price changes of the entire economic output, it is used as a key predictor of future monetary and fiscal policies. An increase in GDP deflator means that the economy is expanding, which may lead to the appreciation of the JPY.

In Q3 of 2020, the Japan GDP deflator dropped to 100.4 from 103.5 in Q2. Up to Q3, the Japan GDP deflator has marginally increased by 0.2 points. We assign a score of 1.

  • Japan Industrial Production

This indicator covers the changes in the output value of mining, manufacturing, and utility sectors. The Japanese economy is highly industrialized. The industrial sector contributes approximately 33% of the GDP. That means the GDP growth rate in Japan is sensitive to the changes in industrial production.

The MoM industrial production in Japan increased by 3.8% in October 2020 while the YoY dropped by 3.2% – the slowest since February 2020. On average, the MoM industrial production in Japan is -0.15%. We assign a score of -5.

  • Japan Manufacturing PMI

About 400 large manufacturers are surveyed monthly by The Jibun Bank. These manufacturers are classified according to the sector of operations, their workforce size, and contribution to GDP. The overall manufacturing PMI is an aggregate of employment, new orders, inventory, output, and suppliers’ deliveries. The Japanese manufacturing sector is seen to be expanding when the PMI is above 50 and contracting when below 50.

In November 2020, the Japan Manufacturing PMI was 49 compared to 48.7 in October. The November reading is almost at par with the January levels. We assign a score of 1.

  • Japan Retail Sales

The retail sales measure the change in the monthly purchase of goods and services by Japanese households. Since it is a leading indicator of consumer demand and expenditure, it is best suited to gauge possible economic contractions and expansions.

In October 2020, Japan retail sales rose by 0.4% from 0.1% recorded in September. YoY retail sales increased by 6.4%, which marks the first month of increase since February 2020. The growth of retail sales is mainly attributed to an increase in motor vehicle sales, machinery and equipment, and medicine & toiletry. On average, the first ten months of 2020 have had a 0.4% increase in MoM retail sales. Thus, we assign a score of 2.

  • Japan Consumer Confidence

This is a monthly survey of about 4700 Japanese households with more than two people. The survey covers the households’ opinion on the overall economic growth, personal income, employment, and purchase of durable goods. An index of above 50 shows that the households are optimistic, while below 50 shows that they are pessimistic.

In November 2020, Japan’s consumer confidence was 33.7 – the highest recorded since March. It is, however, still lower than the pre-pandemic levels of 39.1. We assign a score of -3.

  • Japan General Government Gross Debt to GDP

Prospective domestic and international lenders use the government debt to GDP ratio to determine the ability of an economy to sustain more debt. Among the developed nations, Japan has the highest government debt to GDP ratio. However, it has minimal risk of default since most of the debt is domestic and denominated in Japanese Yen, which poses a low risk of inflating the domestic currency in the international market.

In 2019, the general government gross debt to GDP in Japan was 238%, up from 236.6% in 2018. In 2020, it was projected to hit a maximum of 250%. We assign a score of -3.

In our upcoming article, we have performed an Exogenous analysis of the EUR/JPY Forex pair and gave our optimal forecast. Make sure to check that out. Cheers.

EUR/JPY Bullish Engulfing Signals Further Buying – Quick Signal Update!

During Tuesday’s early European trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair managed to extend its overnight bullish streak and drew some further bids around closer to the 125.00 level mainly due to the market risk-on mood, which tends to undermine the safe-haven Japanese yen and contributes to the currency pair gains. Hence, the market trading sentiment was being supported by the prospects of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Across the pond, the shared currency upticks also played a significant role in underpinning the currency pair. On the contrary, the long-lasting coronavirus woes in the U.S. and Europe keep challenging the upbeat market sentiment, which becomes the key factor that kept the lid on any additional gains in the currency pair.

On the contrary, the intensifying coronavirus woes across the globe and intensifying lockdowns restrictions in Europe and the U.S. keep challenging the upbeat market performance and become the key factor that kept the lid on any additional gains in the currency pair.

In the absence of the key data/events on the day, the market traders will keep their eyes on US ISM Manufacturing PMI for November and original comments from the Fed Chair’s Testimony for fresh impetus. In addition to this, the updates about the U.S. stimulus package will also be key to watch. In the meantime, the risk catalyst like geopolitics and the virus woes, not to forget the Brexit, will not lose their importance.

EUR/JPY Triple Top Breakout – Brace for a Buy Trade

The EUR/JPY currency pair failed to stop its early-day losing streak and still flashing red around below 124.50 level mainly due to the intensifying coronavirus cases across Eurozone and lockdown restrictions in France and Germany, which keep fueling the worries over the Eurozone economic recovery and undermines the shared currency. These concerns got further lifted after the German Economic Minister Peter Altmaier said that COVID-19 infection numbers are still much too high in most regions, which adds further burden around the shared currency and contributes to the currency pair losses.

Across the pond, the prevalent optimism over a potential vaccine for the highly dangerous coronavirus infection urges investors to retreat from the safe-haven Japanese yen, which could be considered one of the key factors that help the currency pair to limit its deeper losses.

In the meantime, the Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said that the Japanese economy remains severe due to the COVID-19 virus, which added further burden around the Japanese yen and becomes the key factor that kept the lid on any additional losses in the currency pair. At this moment, the USD/CHF currency pair is currently trading at 0.9029 and consolidating in the range between 124.31 – 124.67

It is worth recalling that the prevalent optimism over a possible vaccine for the highly infectious coronavirus disease keeps boosting the market risk tone. However, the hopes of the vaccine were boosted after pharmaceutical regulators from the US, Europe, and the UK showed readiness for approving the leading vaccines that have shown almost 90% effective rates during the final rates, which in turn, boosted the hopes of the early arrival of the much-awaited cure to the pandemic. Thereby, the risk-on market mood tends to undermine the safe-haven Japanese yen, which becomes the key factor that lends some support to the currency pair to ease the intraday bearish pressure surrounding the EUR/PY currency pair.

On the other side, the rising coronavirus cases across Eurozone and back-to-back lockdown restrictions in Germany and Franc keep the shared currency under pressure. As per the latest report, German Economic Minister Peter Altmaier said that the COVID-19 infection numbers are still much too high in most regions, putting further pressure around the single currency and contributing to the currency pair declines.

On the contrary, the intensifying market worries regarding the continuous surge in new coronavirus cases in the US and Europe, which keep fueling the concerns over the global economic recovery through imposing new lockdown restrictions on economic and social activity, keep trying to probe the upbeat market performance. Apart from this, the long-lasting inability to pass the US fiscal package and the uncertainty over Brexit, and fears of a full-fledged trade/political war between the West and China also challenging the market risk-on mood, which might push the currency pair further down.

In the absence of significant data/events on the day, the market traders will keep their eyes on the US NFP data, which is due later this week. In addition to this, the updates about the US stimulus package will also be key to watch. In the meantime, the risk catalyst like geopolitics and the virus woes, not to forget the Brexit, will also be key to watch for a fresh direction.

EUR/JPY Breaking Over Intraday Resistance – Buy Setup In-Play

During Monday’s Asian trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair managed to gain positive traction and edged higher above the 130.00 level due to the market risk-on mood, which tends to undermine the safe-haven Japanese yen and contributes to the currency pair gains. Hence, the upbeat market sentiment was supported by optimism over a potential vaccine/treatment for the highly infectious coronavirus, which boosted the sentiment around the shared currency and helped the currency pair to stay bid. 

On the contrary, the worsening Coronavirus (COVID-19) Condition in Europe keeps fueling the worries over the Eurozone economic recovery, which could be considered one of the key factors that kept the lid on any additional gains in the currency pair. At the moment, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 123.31 and consolidating in the range between the 123.02 – 123.34. Moving on, the traders seem cautious to place any strong position ahead of the German/ Eurozone flash PMIs. However, the big miss on expectations would suggest that worsening Coronavirus (COVID-19) is taking a toll on the Eurozone economy, which could lead to big declines in the shared currency.

As we already mentioned that the market trading sentiment remained well supported by the renewed optimism over a possible vaccine for the highly infectious coronavirus disease, which instantly boosted the market risk tone. The vaccine hopes were bolstered after reports came that the vaccinations against coronavirus disease in the U.S. will likely start in 3-weeks, as the FDA is showing readiness to approve drugmaker Pfizer and German partner BioNTech’s experimental candidate in mid-December. Apart from the U.S., the U.K. is expected to give Pfizer’s vaccine a green signal this week. This, in turn, boosted hopes for a global economic recovery in 2021. Therefore, the risk-on market mood tends to undermine the safe-haven Japanese yen, which becomes the key factor that lends some support to the currency pair to put some bids.

Moreover, the market trading sentiment was further bolstered by the positive developments surrounding the Brexit talks between the U.K. and the European Union (E.U.). It is worth recalling that the European Union (E.U.) and the U.K. are very closer to breaking the deadlock over fisheries’ key issue. 

On the contrary, the worsening Coronavirus (COVID-19) condition in Europe keeps fueling the worries over the Eurozone economic recovery, which could be considered one of the key factors that kept the lid on any additional gains in the currency pair. However, the shared currency’s ability to stay bid will be tested on the day as a survey-based indicator(Eurozone PMIs) is set to show the true amount of damage to the economy caused by the resurgence of coronavirus. Thus, the big miss on expectations would suggest that worsening Coronavirus (COVID-19) is taking a toll on the Eurozone economy, leading to significant declines in the shared currency. Conversely, the Upbeat PMIs, especially Germany’s manufacturing sector, could push the single currency higher.

Across the pond, the gains in the currency pair were further capped by the latest statements of Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, that the ECB will be taking action in December and caused the shared currency to come under pressure against its rivals. In the meantime, the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said they are considering starting setting nightly curfews in the country, while the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said they are expected to limit contacts between people in private for all winter months. This, in turn, becomes the key factor that kept the lid on any further gains in the currency pair.

Looking ahead, the market traders will keep their eyes on U.S. Markit Manufacturing PMIs along with the German/ Eurozone flash PMIs, which are scheduled to release later in the day. All in all, the updates surrounding the Brexit, virus, and U.S. stimulus package will not lose their importance.

EUR/JPY Supported Over 122.980 – Is it a Good Time to go Long? 

During Thursday’s Early European trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair failed to stop its early-day declining streak. They took further offers around below 123.00 level mainly due to the intensifying coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the U.S., Europe, and some of the notable Asian nations like Japan, which eventually exerted downside pressure on the market trading sentiment and contributed to the currency pair losses. As a result of worsening coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Europe, the Eurozone started to face the risk of a renewed economic contraction, which tends to undermine the shared currency and contributes to the currency pair losses. Apart from this, the geopolitical tensions between China and some notable countries like the U.S. added a burden around the equity market. 

The downbeat market sentiment tends to underpin the safe-haven Japanese yen and contribute to the currency pair losses. On the contrary, the optimism about promising vaccine trial results helps the market trading sentiment limit its deeper losses, which might support the currency pair. As of writing, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 123.12 and consolidating in the range between 122.83 – 123.19.0.

The intensifying market worries regarding the continuous surge in new coronavirus cases in Europe and the United States keep fueling the doubts over the global economic recovery through imposing back to back lockdown restrictions on economic and social activity, which eventually weighed on the market trading sentiment. As per the latest Johns Hopkins University report, the global cases crossed 56 million figures, of which 11.5 million are in the U.S., along with nearly 250,000 deaths, almost one-fifth of total global deaths. Not only from the U.S. but Tokyo also alarmed investors. As in result, New York restricts personal presence at the schools while Japan alarmed alerts in the capital after the daily cases rise crosses 500 on November 16. It is worth mentioning that Japan’s COVID-19 claims raised past-2,000 for the first time since the virus outbreak began. At the same time, Germany reported 22,609 new coronavirus infections, the 3rd-highest daily hike on record. Two hundred fifty-one deaths were recorded, as the total fatalities reached 13,370 so far. This, in turn, exerted downside pressure on the market risk tone and contributed to currency pair gains.

Apart from this, the bearish market sentiment could also be associated with the long-lasting US-China tussle, which continuously picks the pace. As per the latest report, the U.S., U.K., and Australia recently released a joint statement showing their disappointment over the Dragon Nation’s performance in Hong Kong. The global policymakers urged the Asian major to respect international commitment while urging to stop threatening Hong Kong peoples. 

On the other side, the Eurozone has been facing the risk of a renewed economic contraction, sparked by the second wave of the coronavirus accelerating in Europe. As in result, the consumer prices are already declining in a worrying sign for the European Central Bank, which is already running an ultra-accommodative policy and has chances to give a dovish surprise. 

Looking forward, the traders will keep their eyes on U.S. Unemployment Claims along with Philly Fed Manufacturing Index. The release of Switzerland Trade Balance will be key to watch. Across the pond, the ongoing drama surrounding the US-China relations and updates about the U.S. stimulus package will not lose their importance.

Bearish Bias Dominates EUR/JPY – Downward Channel In Play! 

Today in the early European trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair failed to stop its previous session losing streak and picked up further offers around below the 124.00 marks. However, the bearish sentiment around the currency pair could be attributed to the prevalent market risk-off sentiment, which benefitted the safe-haven Japanese yen and exerted some heavy pressure on the currency pair. Thus, the market trading sentiment was being pressured by the US policymakers’ failures to offer the much-awaited fiscal stimulus as well as the intensification of the Sino-American tussle also weighed on the market trading tone. 

Whereas, the renewed halt in the trials of a vaccine for the highly contagious coronavirus diseases also played its major role in weakening the market risk mood, which in turn, adds further burden around the currency pair. Across the pond, the latest data from Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) fueled the market’s fears of a larger coronavirus (COVID-19) in Europe, which tends to undermine the shared currency and contributing to the currency pair losses. 

On the contrary, the positive remarks from the German Economy Ministry over the EUR economy become the key factor that helps the currency pair to limit its deeper losses. At this particular time, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 123.76 and consolidating in the range between 123.64 – 123.97.

As we already mentioned that the market trading sentiment has been flashing mixed signals since the day started. Be it the failure of the American lawmakers to offer any positive announcement on the coronavirus (COVID-19) relief package or the fresh escalation in the Sino-American tussle, not to forget the downbeat US data, these all factors kept the market risk sentiment under pressure. This, in turn, benefitted the safe-haven Japanese yen and exerted some heavy pressure on the currency pair.

Most of the investors remain cautious on the back of the delay in the production of a vaccine for the highly contagious coronavirus diseases. This was witnessed after the Johnson & Johnson suspended clinical trials for its COVID-19 vaccine due to an unexplained illness. 

Moreover, the market trading sentiment was further bolstered by the rising coronavirus cases in the US and Europe, which has been fueling worries about global economic recovery. According to the coronavirus (COVID-19) data from Johns Hopkins University data., the number of global cases crossed 38 million as of Oct. 14. Whereas, the U.S. still not showing any signs of decreasing infection rates, which raised concerns over the economic recovery. 

Across the pond, the shared currency was being pressured by the latest data from Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI), which fueled the market’s fears of a larger coronavirus (COVID-19) in Europe. As per the latest report, the daily new confirmed cases grew 5,132 to 334,585 in Europe while the death toll also rose by 40, taking the total to 9,677. 

On the contrary, the latest positive remarks from the German Economy Ministry over the EUR economy become the key factor that helps the currency pair to limit its deeper losses. As per the keywords, “the economy is expected to show by far the highest quarterly growth rate ever recorded in Q3, though indicators signal a slowed continuation of the recovery process in Q4.” He further added ” COVID-19 effects on the labor market are still significant, slight improvement is already apparent.

The US Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for September, which is expected 75 versus 74.1 prior, will likely help resolve near-term USD moves. Furthermore, the risk catalyst like geopolitics and the virus woes, not to forget the Brexit, will also be key to watch for the fresh direction.

EUR/JPY Continues to Trade Below Previously Violated Upward Channel – Signal Update! 

The EUR/JPY failed to stop its previous session bearish streak and drew further offers around the 124.17 regions. However, the basis for the bearish sentiment around the EURJPY pair could be associated with the fresh reports suggesting the re-imposition of stricter restrictions in Germany, Spain, and France to stop the coronavirus second-wave. This, in turn, weakened the forecast around the shared currency and dragged the currency pair lower. Apart from this, the intensification of the Sino-American tussle and the uncertainty over the American stimulus package, keep weighing on the market risk-tone, which eventually underpinned the Japanese yen’s safe-haven demand and contributed to the currency pair losses. Moreover, the risk-off market sentiment was further boosted by the fresh discouraging vaccine news, which put a further bid under the safe-haven Japanese yen. At this particular time, the EUR/JPY is trading at 124.29 and consolidating between 124.17 – 124.48.

The shared currency remained pressured by the vaccine news and re-imposed stricter restrictions in Spain and France, and Germany to stop the coronavirus second-wave. New infections in Germany once again top 4000 on Tuesday. According to the coronavirus (COVID-19) data from Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the country’s cases rose around ~39,000 as of yesterday while the latest update today added 13 deaths more so that brings the total tally to 9,634 persons. This, in turn, undermined the shared currency and contributed to the currency pair.

Moreover, the sentiment around the shard currency was further bolstered by the reports suggesting that the UK pharma giant, Johnson, and Johnson, delayed its COVID-19 vaccine trial due to an unexplained illness.

Across the pond, the market trading sentiment has been flashing mixed signals since the day started. Be it the American lawmakers’ failure to offer any positive announcement on the coronavirus (COVID-19) relief package or the recent escalation in the Sino-American tussle, not to forget the Brexit worries, these all factors have been weighing on the market risk tone. At the US-China front, China recently showed his dislikes over the White House arms sale to Taiwan and the recent ban from China to use Aussie coal for power stations, which eventually offered additional pressure to the market sentiment and contributed to the currency pair losses.


Moving on, the ZEW will release its German Economic Sentiment Index and the Current Situation Index at 0900 GMT in the EU session later today, which is expected to drop to 73.0 in October as against a 77.4 reading booked in the previous month. Meanwhile, the Current Situation Sub-Index is expected to arrive at -60.0 against a -66.2-figure recorded last month. Apart from this, the market traders will keep their eyes on the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Furthermore, the risk catalyst like geopolitics and the virus woes, not to forget the Brexit, will not lose their importance.

EUR/JPY Breaks Below Upward Channel at 124.850 – Quick Update on Sell Signal! 

Today in the European trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair failed to stop its previous session losing streak and remain depressed around below the 124.50 marks. However, the bearish bias around the currency pair could be associated with upbeat Japan’s Machinery Orders data, underpinning the Japanese yen currency and contributing to the currency pair declines. Apart from this, Europe’s intensified coronavirus concerns undermined the shared currency and add further pessimism around the currency pair. On the contrary, the prevalent market risk-on sentiment tends to undermine the safe-haven Japanese yen, which becomes the key factor that helps the pair to limit its deeper losses. At this particular time, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 124.38 and consolidating in the range between 124.32 – 125.08.

As we all well aware that the coronavirus resurgence in Europe is intensifying, which fueled the worries over the EUR economic recovery. As per the latest report, France has reported record-high new daily cases of approximately 27K during the recession. At the Spain front, Catalonia and Navarre’s regions will tighten restrictions on working and public gatherings after the continued rise in COVID-19 cases, which keeps the shard currency under pressure and contributed to the currency pair losses.

Across the pond, the market trading sentiment has been flashing mixed signals since the day started. Be it the American lawmakers’ failure to offer any positive announcement on the coronavirus (COVID-19) relief package or the on-going in the Sino-American tussle, not to forget the no-deal Brexit fears, these all factors have been weighing on the market risk tone. This, in turn, underpinned the safe-haven Japanese yen and dragged the currency pair further lower.

Across the pond, upbeat Japan’s Machinery Orders data also supported the Japanese yen currency, which keeps the currency pair under pressure. At the data front, the August month’s Machinery Orders recovered from -16.2% previous and -15.6% forecast to -15.2% YoY. On the other hand, the Producer Price Index (PPI) for September dropped below -0.5% expected and previous readings to -0.8%.

On the contrary, the market risk sentiment recently got lift by the positive reports suggesting that Trump had fully recovered from his bout with COVID-19. These hopes were further fueled after his physician Sean Conley stating that he is no longer an infection risk. This, in turn, boosted the market trading sentiment and helped the currency pair limit its deeper losses.

EUR/JPY Upward Channel Underpins Bullish Trend – An Update on Signal 

During the Friday’s European trading hours, the EUR/JPY currency pair succeeded to extend its previous session gaining streak and hit the intra-day high level around above 125.00 level mainly due to the risk-on market sentiment, backed by the prevalent optimism over treatment for the highly infectious coronavirus, which tends to undermine the safe-haven Japanese yen and contributes to the currency pair gains. Moreover, the market risk tone was further boosted by the increasing expectations of further US stimulus package, which provided further boost to the currency pair. 

On the contrary, Europe’s quickly rising coronavirus (COVID-19) cases fueled the worries over the EUR economy recovery, which becomes the key factor that kept the lid on any additional gains in the currency pair. Meanwhile, the latest report that the Spanish Prime Minister (PM) Pedro Sánchez announced a state of emergency in Madrid also played a major role in capping further currency pair gains. As of writing, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 124.97 and consolidating in the range between 124.51 – 125.02.

As we already mentioned that the equity market has been flashing green since the day started. The reason could be associated with the major positive catalysts. Be it the renewed probabilities of the further stimulus package or optimism over treatment for the highly infectious coronavirus, not to forget the upbeat China data, these all factors favor the market trading sentiment, which could be considered the main factors that kept the currency pair higher. 

It should be noted that the US President Donald Trump stepped back from his earlier ‘NO’ to the coronavirus (COVID-19) aid package talks. However, US President Donald Trump is ready to shift towards the large scale bill, which propels the market’s risk sentiment and weighs on the safe-haven Japanese yen. Apart from this, the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine’s hopes also favored the market risk tone, which eventually underpinned the safe-haven US Japanese yen and contributed to the currency pair gains.

As per the latest report, China joins the World Health Organization’s virus vaccine program after returning from one week-long holiday, which initially fueled the hopes of a disease cure. Meanwhile, the market trading sentiment was further bolstered by the positive reports that Gilead and Regeneron’s vaccine research efforts will offer strong results to stop the virus.

On the contrary, the Spanish Prime Minister (PM) Pedro Sánchez announced a state of emergency in Madrid as the COVID-19 cases in the UK and Germany are also worrisome. At the coronavirus front, the coronavirus cases grew to 314,660, with a total of 9,589 deaths toll, according to the German disease and epidemic control center, Robert Koch Institute (RKI) report. In the meantime, the cases rose by 4,516 on the day while the death toll rose by 11. The daily rise in new cases topped 4,000 for the second day in a row, the highest numbers since April 10. These virus fears could be considered one of the key factors that kept the lid on any additional currency pair gains.

In the absence of the major data/events on the day, the market traders will keep their eyes on the Canadian jobs data. In the meantime, the risk catalyst like geopolitics and the virus woes, not to forget the Brexit, will also be key to watch for the fresh direction.

EUR/JPY Extends Bullish Bias Amid Faded Safe Haven – Signal Update 

During the Wednesday’s Asian trading hours, the EUR/JPY currency pair extended its Asian session winning streak and remain bullish around above 124.50 level mainly due to a fresh and robust rebound in the equity markets, which undermined the Japanese yen’s safe-haven demand and turned out to be the key factor that extending some support to the USD/JPY currency pair. However, market traders digested the US President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel talks with Democrats on the stimulus package. This was witnessed after the steep fall in the US equity markets turned out to be short-lived. 

On the contrary, the dismal German industrial figures and coronavirus woes in Europe ten undermine the shard currency and become the key factor that kept the lid on any additional gains in the currency pair. As of writing, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 124.64 and consolidating in the range between 123.86 – 124.72.

As we already mentioned, the Industrial Production in Germany unexpectedly dropped in August, as per the official data showed on the day, suggesting that the manufacturing sector’s recovery is losing momentum. Apart from this, the bearish sentiment around the shared currency was further bolstered by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Regional European Director Hans Kluge warnings that Europeans suffer “pandemic fatigue” from the disruption caused by the rapid spread of the coronavirus. Thus, it was seen as one of the key factors that capped further currency pair gains.

On the contrary, the positive mood around the equity markets, triggered by a strong pickup in the US Treasury bond yields, tends to undermine the Japanese yen’s safe-haven demand and becomes one of the key factors that kept the currency pair intra-day high. It is worth recalling that the US President Donald Trump’s yesterday’s decision to cancel negotiations with Democrats over the stimulus package raised doubts about the US economic recovery. This, in turn, led to a large fall in the US equity markets on Tuesday, but the reaction turned out to be short-lived.

Looking forward, the market traders keeping their eyes on the Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s scheduled speech. In the meantime, the updates surrounding the fresh Sino-US tussle, as well as the coronavirus (COVID-19), could not lose their importance.

The EUR/JPY pair is trading with a bullish bias at 124 level as the single currency Euro gained bullish momentum. Simultaneously, the Japanese yen is getting weaker, just like gold amid weakness in the safe-haven appeal. We opened a buying trade over 124.175 level as it was extended by an upward channel on the 2-hour timeframe. Since we are already out, encashing 36 green pips, I would like to take a second trade, perhaps, a selling one below the 125.300 resistance level now. Let’s brace for it!

EUR/JPY Enters Oversold Zone – Can We Expect Bearish Correction?

The EUR/JPY currency pair extended its Asian session declining streak and remain depressed around below 124.50 level mainly due to the cautious mood around the equity markets, which tend to underpin the Japanese yen’s safe-haven demand and turned out to be the key factor that exerting some pressure on the EUR/JPY currency pair. Apart from this, the latest optimism over the US-Japan relationship provided further support to the Japanese yen, which add further pessimism around the currency pair. 

On the contrary, the better-than-forecasts German Factory Orders data and positive comments from the ECB policymakers over the EUR economy help the currency pair to limit its deeper losses. As of writing, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 1.1780 and consolidating in the range between 1.1766 – 1.1802.

As we already mentioned, the German Factory Orders improved more-than-expected in August, suggesting that the manufacturing sector recovery in Europe’s largest economy is regaining traction. This, in turn, underpinned the shard currency and becomes the key factor that kept the lid on any additional losses in the currency pair. At the data front, the Contracts for goods’ Made in Germany’ came in at +4.5% on the month vs. +2.6% expected and +2.8% last, as per the latest data showed by the Federal Statistics Office showed on the day. Annually, Germany’s Industrial Orders dropped only by 2.2% in the reported month vs. -7.3% previous and -19.9% expectations.

Apart from this, the positive comments from the ECB policymakers over the euro area economy also played its role in capping the currency pair losses. As per the latest comment from the European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker and Irish Central Bank Governor Gabriel Makhlouf, the euro area economy has recovered sharply from the trough seen in April. 

On the contrary, the cautious mood around the equity markets, triggered by the US political uncertainty ahead of the presidential election on November 3, tends to underpin the Japanese yen’s safe-haven demand and becomes one of the key factors that kept the currency pair under pressure. However, the overnight optimism over the US President Donald Trump’s return to the White House recently overshadowed by the prevalent US political uncertainty. In the meantime, the hopes of a compromise over a new coronavirus relief package also failed to boost trading’ sentiment, which is not good for the currency pair.

At the US-China front, the renewed US-China tussle also keeps challenging the market risk mood, which might add further pessimism around the currency pair. As per the latest report, the Dragon Nation continuing criticizing the US ban on TikTok and WeChat at the World Trade Organization (WTO). 

Across the pond, the losses in the currency pair were further bolstered after the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Japan’s Prime Minister (PM) Yoshihide Suga would strengthen the relationship with the US, which in turn, Japanese yen got impressed and added further downside pressure around the EUR/JPY currency pair.


Technically, the EUR/JPY pair is trading bearish today at 124.200 level, holding over the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Recently, the EUR/JPY formed a bearish engulfing pattern on the 4-hour timeframe that may lead the pair towards 124.055 level. The candle’s closing below 124.055 level may extend the selling trend until the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 123.66. But in case, if the EUR/JPY pair reverses and breaks the resistance level of 124.700 level, then I will consider closing the signal in the loss. Let’s keep an eye on it.

Entry Price – Sell 124.42

Stop Loss – 124.82

Take Profit – 123.92

EUR/JPY on a Bullish Run Despite the Negative Eurozone Inflation – Signal Update

During Monday’s early European trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair managed to extend its previous session bullish bias and remained bullish near the 123.91 level. However, the bullish bias around the currency pair was supported by the market risk-on sentiment, which undermines the safe-haven Japanese yen and contributes to the currency pair gains. Across the pond, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda shared a negative picture over Japan’s economy and inflation, which added further pressure on the Japanese yen and provided an additional boost to the currency pair. 

On the other hand, the market risk-on tone also supported the shared currency, which boosted the currency pair. Conversely, the negative Eurozone inflation and expectations for additional European Central Bank (ECB) easing could be considered as one of the major factors that kept the lid on any further gains in the currency pair. At the moment, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 123.91 and consolidating in the range between the 123.33 – 123.94.

The market trading sentiment remains well supported by the optimism generated by President Trump’s doctors’ comments that he could be discharged from the coronavirus hospital as soon as Monday. This, in turn, boosted the market sentiment and helped the currency pair pick some fresh bids on the day. However, the market risk-on sentiment was witnessed after the S&P 500 futures jumped and rose more than 0.6% on the day.

Besides, the S&P 500 futures’ upticks were further bolstered by optimism over the US aid package talks. The national leader spoke to US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin over the weekend for the COVID-19 stimulus, which raised hopes that deadlock could end sooner. This also favored the risk-tone sentiment and undermined the safe-haven Japanese yen

Apart from this, the reason for the upbeat market sentiment could also be associated with fresh hopes of a soft Brexit, triggered after the weekend meeting between the UK PM Boris Johnson and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This, in turn, undermined the safe-haven Japanese yen currency and extended support to the currency pair. 

Across the pond, the reason for the currency pair bullish bias could also be associated with the latest reports suggesting that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda sounded gloomy over the outlook on Japan’s economy, which keeps the Japanese yen currency under pressure and contributed to the currency pair gains. As per the latest report by Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, “Japanese economy in severe condition but picking up.” He further added, “Uncertainties surrounding the outlook remain extremely high.”

On the contrary, the ECB’s pressure to do more easing is rising after weak Eurozone inflation, which tends to support the shared currency and becomes the key factor that cap further gains in the currency pair. The cost of living in the shard currency area plunged deeper into the negative territory last month. 

Looking forward, the market traders keeping their eyes on the news concerning the American President’s health. Apart from this, the US ISM Services PMI for September, expected 56.0, will be key to watch. In the meantime, the updates surrounding the fresh Sino-US tussle, as well as the coronavirus (COVID-19), could not lose their importance.

EUR/JPY Violates Descending Triangle Pattern – Who’s Up for Buying?

Today in the early European trading session, the EUR/JPY stretched its previous session bullish trend and took further bids around an intraday top closer to 123.240, mainly due to the risk-on market sentiment. The faded safe-haven appeal was backed by the on-going optimism over treatment for the highly infectious coronavirus. Therefore, the demand for Japanese yen fell compared to the single currency Euro and we noticed an upward movement in the EUR/JPY currency pair.

A day before, the EUR/USD pair’s gains were limited after the speech of European Central Bank’s President, Christine Lagarde. She made fresh comments on the coronavirus pandemic threat and said that despite the rebounded economic activity in Eurozone, the recovery remains incomplete, uncertain, and uneven. She added that consumer spending has resumed, but they are still cautious about their jobs and income prospects, so the spending is behind its margin. Similarly, the business investment has picked up, but the weak demand and pertaining uncertainty have weighed on the investment plans.

The market trading sentiment recently got the lift from the hints of further money flow from the US and Europe. These developments were supported by the US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s optimism towards the COVID-19 aid package discussion. Apart from this, the European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde repeated that the Governing Council, “continues to stand ready to adjust all of its instruments, as appropriate” Thi, in turn, boosted the market trading sentiment.

The US-China picked up further pace after the headline from the South China Morning Post (SCMP), published Tuesday’s early Asian session, suggests further hardships for the Sino-American trade deal. However, the news relies on China’s imports of the US goods under the trade agreement between Washington and China, which keeps challenging the upbeat market tone and cap further upside momentum for the currency pair.


The EUR/JPY pair is trading with a bullish bias at 123.400 level, having violated a descending triangle pattern on the four hourly charts. The triangle pattern was extending resistance at 122.850 level, and bullish crossover and formation of a bullish engulfing pattern may drive further buying until the next resistance area of 124.088 level. The leading technical indicators such as RSI and MACD also show bullish crossover, supporting bullish bias in the market. At the same time, the 50 EMA is also in support of the buying trend. Checkout a trading plan below…

Entry Price – Buy 123.288
Stop Loss – 123.292
Take Profit – 123.688
Risk to Reward – 1:1
Profit & Loss Per Standard Lot = -$400/ +$400

EUR/JPY Failed to Gains Positive Traction – Quick 40 Pips Profit! 

Today in the early European trading session, the EUR/JPY currency pair failed to stop its previous session losing streak and further offers around below the 124.00 regions in the last hours. However, the bearish bias around the currency pair was bolstered by the reports suggesting the confirmation of deflation seeping back into the Eurozone, which undermined the shared currency and contributed to the currency pair declines. Meanwhile, the continued rise in coronavirus cases also exerted downside pressure on the shared currency, which dragged the currency par below 124.00. 

The reason for the currency pair selling bias could also be attributed to the market risk-off mood, which eventually underpinned the Japanese yen’s safe-haven demand. Hence, the risk-off market sentiment was mainly sponsored by the Fed’s hint for another stress test for large banks as well as the U.K. scientist group’s readiness for another national lockdown also weighed on the market risk tone. At this particular time, the EUR/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 123.86 and consolidating in the range between 123.81 – 124.31.

At the coronavirus front, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases increased to 263,773, with a total of 9,378 deaths reported on the day. Meanwhile, the number of new infections rose by 1,916 on Friday, while the death toll rose by 7, as per the latest data from the German disease and epidemic control center, Robert Koch Institute (RKI). This, in turn, undermined the sentiment around the single currency and contributed to the currency par declines.

Moreover, the sentiment around the shard currency was further bolstered by the reports suggesting confirmation of deflation seeping back into the Eurozone. Detail suggested the Eurozone annualized CPI confirmed the -0.2% previous estimate.

Across the pond, the market trading sentiment has been flashing mixed signals since the day started. Be it the American lawmakers’ failure to offer any positive announcement on the coronavirus (COVID-19) relief package or the recent escalation in the Sino-American tussle, not to forget the downbeat U.S. data, these all factors have been weighing on the market risk tone. This, in turn, underpinned the safe-haven Japanese yen.

The employment data released on Thursday showed that initial jobless claims dropped slower than expected at the data front. Eight hundred sixty thousand claims were filed over the past week against the predicted 850,000.

Additionally, weighing the market trading sentiment could be the fears of rising COVID-19 cases in the U.S., Europe, and some of the notable Asian nations like India, fueling fears that the economic recovery could be halted. 

Looking forward, the market traders will keep their eyes on the USD moves amid the lack of major data/events on the day. However, the U.S. Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for September, which is expected 75 versus 74.1 prior, will likely help resolve near-term USD moves. Furthermore, the risk catalyst like geopolitics and the virus woes, not to forget the Brexit, will also be key to watch for the fresh direction.


We decided to open a sell position in the EUR/JPY pair during the European session as it formed a bearish engulfing pattern below 124.250 level. The candle closing drove more selling in the EUR/JPY pair, and now it’s likely to trigger more selling until the 123.375 level. The MACD and 50 EMA were also supporting selling bias; therefore, we decided to capture a quick sell position to target 123.742 take profit level. Let’s keep an eye on 123.3750 now as the closing of candles above this level may drive some buying during the U.S. session. Good luck!

Bullish EUR/JPY Setup Reverses – Quick Update on Manually Closed Signal! 

The EUR/JPY is trading at 126.700 level, reversing below an immediate resistance level of 127.073. The closing of candles below 127 level is likely to drop until 126.450 level. The single currency Euro could be the reports that suggested that Germany avoided a sub-zero inflation print in August despite the negative base effect from low energy prices and VAT cut, which eventually gave support to the shared currency. 

In the meantime, the Spanish Economy Minister Nadia Calvino’s positive comments about the Spanish economy also underpinned the single currency and contributed to the currency pair gains. As per the keywords, “The economy is expanding currently at a pace of more than 10% in the 3rd-quarter”. He further added, “Spanish banking sector is solvent.” However, the single currency cheered the Spanish economy’s upbeat outlook, as the EUR/USD pair set to beak 1.20 level.

On the contrary, the number of coronavirus cases increased to 242,381, while the total number of deaths reached 9,298. Whereas, the cases rose by 610 in Germany yesterday as per the German disease and epidemic control center, Robert Koch Institute (RKI) report. The coronavirus fears could be considered the key factor that cap further upside momentum for the currency pair.

Across the ocean, the on-going Japanese political uncertainty failed to give any major support to the currency, at least for now. Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) General Council Chairman Shunichi Suzuki stated that leadership would be conducted in a simplified rather than full-scale format respecting the urgency. This looming uncertainty initially weighed on the Japanese yen currency and gave some support to the major, but the support was short-lived as the US dollar continues losing its ground and becomes the major factor that keeps the currency pair down.


We opened a buy trade in the EUR/JPY currency pair at 126.94 with a stop loss of 127.34 and take a profit of 126.54. But the recent Doji candles below 127 level may cause a bearish reversal. Therefore, we decided to close the trade a bit early before it reverses the other way. Anyways, we can look for buying trade again around 126.250 level. Stay tuned, good luck!

Daily F.X. Analysis, August 18 – Top Trade Setups In Forex – Boosted Safe-Haven Plays! 

On the news front, the market isn’t expected to offer any major or high impact economic event until Wednesday. Therefore, the eyes will remain on the COVID19 cases and U.S. FOMC meeting minutes, which are coming out tomorrow to drive further price action in the market.

Economic Events to Watch Today  

  


EUR/USD – Daily Analysis

The EUR/USD has managed to maintain its previous day winning streak and taking further bids just below the 1.1900 level while representing 25% gains on the day mainly due to the broad-based U.S. dollar weakness, triggered by the on-going uncertainty surrounding the much-awaited U.S. fiscal stimulus. 

On the other hand, the US-EU trade concerns turned bitter as the U.S. keeps increasing the hardships for the E.U. goods, which eventually becomes the key factor that capped further upside momentum for the currency pair. In the meantime, the rising coronavirus cases in Germany also turned out to be a major factor that kept the traders cautious. As of writing, the EUR/USD currency pair is currently trading at 1.1893 and consolidates in the range between the 1.1865 – 1.1898. 

The U.S. dollar losses were further bolstered by the uncertainty over the next round of the U.S. fiscal stimulus measures, as the U.S. Congress members failed again from signaling any talks on the much-awaited stimulus amid political differences, which continued to fuel doubts over the U.S. economic recovery.

As we all know, the online meeting between the world’s top two nations I,e the U.S. & China, has been postponed without giving any future dates that were initially scheduled for Saturday. Despite this, the conflicting tone remains on the card as the Trump administration keeps increasing the hardships of companies from China. The U.S. diplomats recently announced punitive measures for Huawei in their latest attack for China. However, these gloomy headlines tend t cap further gains in the equity market, which might help the U.S. dollar put the safe-haven bids ahead.

Across the pond, the US-EU trade concerns still not showing any sign of slowing down as the U.S. decided to maintain its 25% tariffs on a range of E.U. goods. This happens after the White House realized that the E.U. is not doing enough to obey with the WTO’s ruling over state aid to Airbus. However, these updates could halt the upward momentum in the currency pair.

At the coronavirus front, the actual coronavirus cases increased to 225,404, with a total of 9,236 deaths. Whereas, the cases raised by 1,390 in Germany on the day against the previous day +738. The death toll rose by 4, as per the German disease and epidemic control center report, Robert Koch Institute (RKI).

At the USD front, the broad-based U.S. dollar reported losses on the day as the possibility of the U.S. Congress agreeing to a fiscal stimulus bill this month has weakened amid political differences, which eventually destroyed hopes for a quick U.S. economic recovery. In the absence of significant data/events on the day, the market traders will keep their eyes on the headlines concerning the US COVID-19 aid package, virus figures, and Sino-American trade.

Daily Technical Levels

Support Pivot Resistance
1.1838 1.1860 1.1891
1.1807 1.1913
1.1785 1.1945

 EUR/USD– Trading Tip

The EUR/USD pair has already violated the resistance level of 1.1862, which is now working as a support. On the 4 hour timeframe, the pair is supported by an upward trendline at 1.1880, while the double top resistance stays at 1.1916 level. Bullish bias seems dominant, and it may lead the EUR/USD prices towards the 1.1916 level today.

  


GBP/USD – Daily Analysis

Today in the Asian trading session, the GBP/USD currency pair remains on the bullish track and registered 4th day of winning streak while taking rounds near the 1.3120 and 1.3137 range mainly due to the broad-based U.S. dollar selling bias. That was triggered by the uncertainty surrounding the much-awaited coronavirus (COVID-19) relief package from America. The upbeat market mood also undermined the safe-haven U.S. dollar and contributed to the currency pair gains. 

The upbeat market sentiment backed by multiple factors helped overshadowed the U.K.’s current economic slowdown and distracted from anxieties that the country is likely heading into an unemployment crisis. This, in turn, underpinned the local currency and gave further support to the major. At a particular time, the GBP/USD currency pair is currently trading at 1.3139 and consolidating in the range between 1.3095 – 1.3141. However, the pair’s traders seem cautious to place any strong bids ahead of the key 7th-round of EU-UK talks concerning Brexit.

It is worth mentioning that the cable pair has many more to cheer on the day. Be it broad-based U.S. dollar weakness or upbeat market trading sentiment, not to forget the Brexit talks, these all factors are supporting the currency pair for the time being, at least.

At the Brexit front, the hopes of the trade deal next week got further fueled by the UK PM Boris Johnson’s previous comments that the United Kingdom will not accept aligning to rules of the E.U. at the coming round of post-Brexit discussions. Even though the trade deal is agreed between the U.K. and E.U., as per the U.K. Express report, the E.U. fishermen could clash with U.K. fishermen.

The coming round of talk becomes the last scheduled meet; policymakers earlier showed a willingness to extend the talks till September if needed. According to the BBC report, the E.U. chief negotiator Michel Barnier said that the agreement would be needed by October to ratify before the current post-Brexit transition period ends in December. However, the policymaker from both sides keeps alleging each other while citing failures to agree over the key issues like fisheries, level playing field, and jurisdiction rules, to name a few.

Across the pond, the UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak shows a willingness to extend the furlough scheme after rising unemployment rate and hence reopened support scheme for self-employed. However, the improving market mood helped overshadowed the U.K.’s current economic recession fears and concerns that the country is expected to heading into an unemployment crisis. 

The currency pair gains were also supported by the positive report that Imperial College London’s coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine candidate is set for the next phase represents the Tory government’s efforts to control the pandemic.

On the other hand, the U.S. and China continue to struggle over one issue or the other. The Trump administration keeps increasing the hardships of companies from China by adding 38 Huawei facilities to the U.S.’ economic blacklist while also arresting a Chinese spy.

Whereas, the uncertainty over the next round of the U.S. fiscal stimulus measures remain on the cards, as the U.S. Congress members failed again from signaling any talks on the much-awaited stimulus amid political differences, which continued to fuel doubts over the U.S. economic recovery.

As in result, the broad-based U.S. dollar failed to gain any positive traction and extended its previous long bearish bias as doubts over the U.S. economic recovery remain amid coronavirus stimulus package. However, the losses in the U.S. dollar helped the currency pair to take bids on the day. 

 


Daily Technical Levels

Support Pivot Resistance
1.3075 1.3099 1.3124
1.3050 1.3148
1.3027 1.3173

 GBP/USD– Trading Tip

The GBP/USD pair is trading at 1.3137 level, and the pair was trading in between an ascending triangle pattern that has now been violated. The triangle pattern was extending resistance at 1.3125 level, and above this, the next resistance is pretty much likely to be found around 1.3189 level. At the same time, the support stays at 1.3125 and 1.3085 level. Bullish bias seems dominant today.

  


USD/JPY – Daily Analysis

The USD/JPY currency pair extended its previous session losing streak and dropped further below 106.50 marks mainly due to the broad-based U.S. dollar four-day consecutive weakness, buoyed by the impasse over the next round of the U.S. fiscal stimulus measures. On the other hand, the upbeat market sentiment, backed by the optimism over a potential vaccine for the highly infectious coronavirus, undermined the safe-haven Japanese yen and helped currency pair to limit its deeper losses. In the meantime, the downbeat preliminary readings of Japan’s second quarter (Q2) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) also undermined the safe-haven Japanese yen currency and became one of the major factors that capped further downside for the currency pair. Currently, the USD/JPY currency pair is currently trading at 106.36 and consolidating in the range between 106.31 – 106.67.

Despite concerns about the ever-increasing coronavirus cases across the world and worsening US-China relations, the investors continued to cheer the optimism over a potential vaccine for the highly contagious coronavirus disease. Also, supporting factors could be the suspension of the US-China online meeting regarding the trade deal. 

On the contrary, the fears of growing COVID-19 cases in the U.S., Australia, Japan, and some of the notable Asian nations like India continually fueling doubts over the economic recovery. As per the latest report, France recorded more than 3,000 new cases for the second day while Australia’s state Victoria marked the highest death loss, which resulted in an extended state of emergency until September 13. Singapore also reported 86 cases on the weekend. At the same time, New Zealand imposed fresh lockdowns after recording increased cases of Covid-19. However, these gloomy updates kept challenging the market risk-on tone, which might weaken the safe-haven JPY and help limit losses for the major.

Apart from the virus woes, the long-lasting tussle between the world’s two largest economies remained on the cards as China’s ambassador to the U.S. recently gave warning against the U.S. move to send ships to the South China Sea, which could raise further tensions between both nations and harm the trade deal. Whereas, President Trump announced yesterday that TikTok should give its U.S. operations to another company within one-month, or it will be banned in the U.S. due to significant security threats. In return, China’s Foreign Ministry recently said on the day that it would firmly oppose to U.S. actions.

As we mentioned, the downbeat preliminary readings of Japan’s second quarter (Q2) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) also gave some support to the currency pair. The world’s 3rd-largest economy declined by a 27.8% annualized pace during the second quarter of 2020. However, this marked the biggest economic fall on record and was led by the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

Daily Technical Levels

Support Pivot Resistance

105.4800 106.9200

USD/JPY – Trading Tips

The USD/JPY has violated the upward trendline support level of 106.345, as it fell sharply in the wake of increased safe-haven appeal in the market. At the movement, the USD/JPY pair is holding below 50 periods EMA, while the RSI and MACD are in support of bearish trend. The recent candle is closing above 105.344 level, suggesting strong odds of bullish correction until 106. However, the violation of 106 can lead USD/JPY prices towards the 104.600 support level. Good luck!

EUR/JPY’s Double Top Pattern – Is It Going to Help Sellers? 

The EUR/JPY is trading at 117.150, holding mostly below a strong resistance level of 117.350, which is extended by the double top pattern. On the 4 hour timeframe, EUR/JPY may find a hard time breaking above 117.350 resistance due to an increased level of uncertainty and safe-haven appeal in the market. Alongside, a series of weaker than expected services PMI figures from the Eurozone may weigh on the EUR/JPY currency pair.

Fundamentally, the EUR/JPY may face bearish pressure due to weakness in the single currency euro. The Markit Eurozone Composite Output Index reported its biggest ever monthly drop in March to place a survey’s historic low of 29.7. Well, the figure isn’t just below the previous month’s 51.6 figure, but it also missed the economist’s forecast of 31.6, which is likely to drive sharp selling in Euro.

The Italian administration is ramping up spending projects “significantly” to lessen the financial consequence of the coronavirus. The global central banks are on the move, so the Italian finance department is also pushing considering the death toll, which has now surpassed 12,000. 

At the same time, the headline Italy Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index, which measures the progress in overall business conditions – dropped from 48.7 in February to 40.3 in March to indicate a decline in the health of the Italian manufacturing division for the eighteenth month running. 


On the technical front, the EUR/JPY currency pair is likely to find immediate support at 116.800, but it’s less likely to be held as the pair seems to fall further until 115.350 level. It’s the same level that supported the EUR/JPY pair back on March 9 and 12. Closing of the doji candle or bullish reversal candle will be an indication that investors are respecting this level and may drive buying sooner or later.

EUR/JPY Completes 50% Fibo Retracement – 61.8% Mark In Eyes!

The EUR/JPY is trading with a bearish bias at 120.950 areas in the wake of the U.S. Iran trade war. Iran immediately called a parliament to decide whether US troops should remain in Iran soil or not. The parliament voted the US troop withdrawal from Iran, which was criticized by the US.

The US President Trump said that they had invested billions of dollars in building an airbase in Iran, and they would not leave until Iran pay them back. US army denied the troop withdrawal from Iran.
Iran then announced that it would no longer follow the 2015 nuclear contract with the world powers. According to that provision, Iran was bound to follow the uranium enrichment limits mentioned under the 2015 Nuclear Agreement.

In response to what, US President tweeted that Iran would never become a Nuclear Power.
