The post AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Weakens to near 112.50, but uptrend remains constructive appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The AUD/JPY cross trades in negative territory around 112.62 during the early European trading hours on Thursday. The Japanese Yen (JPY) edges higher against the Australian Dollar (AUD) amid escalating tensions in the Middle East after US President Donald Trump said an interim agreement to end the war with Iran was “over.” Traders are also on high alert for possible intervention from Japanese officials. “The yen’s current weakness is excessive and fails to reflect the strong fundamentals of the Japanese economy, a misalignment that could prompt major central banks to launch coordinated intervention,” said Michael Nizard, head of multi-asset and overlay at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management. Technical Analysis: In the daily chart, AUD/JPY holds above the 100-day moving average (MA) and the Bollinger Bands’ 20-day simple moving average (SMA), which together su
The post War Chatter Spikes To 3-Month High As Trump Ends Iran Ceasefire, Crypto Markets Brace For Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
War-related social volume across crypto platforms climbed to a three-month high on Tuesday after former President Trump announced the U.S. was withdrawing from the Iran ceasefire and warned that additional military action was on the table. According to the Santiment update, mentions of “war,” “Iran,” and “ceasefire” exploded immediately after the statements, pushing the social trend indicator to levels not seen since April. The spike followed renewed U.S.-Iran strikes and a collapse in diplomacy, with traders scrambling to gauge whether the escalation was a fresh geopolitical shock or another cycle of headline brinkmanship. For markets, the immediate question is whether this chatter translates into sustained selling pressure or just another round of headline-driven whipsaws. Santiment warned that the likely outcome is more volatility before
The post USD/CHF Price Forecast: Dollar bulls lose steam after rejection at 0.8100 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The US Dollar is trading lower against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Thursday, as investors ponder the consequences of reciprocal US and Iran attacks and a 10% rebound in Oil prices, on the major central banks’ monetary policies. The USD/CHF pair has retreated to levels near 0.8050 after being rejected at 0.8100 on Wednesday. The Swiss Franc is drawing some support from a mild US Dollar weakness, as the Dollar Index (DXY) dips below 101.00 to test weekly lows. Investors sold the Greenback across the board on Wednesday, following the release of the Federal Reserve’s minutes, unimpressed with the central bank’s commitment to bring inflationary pressures back to target. Geopolitical tensions are also failing to support the safe-haven US Dollar on Thursday. A second round of reciprocal attacks between the US and Iran cast further doubt on a negotiated end of the war, and have
The post Euro holds gains against Japanese Yen as Germany’s Trade Surplus widens in May appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
EUR/JPY extends its gains for the second successive day, trading around 185.70 during the early European hours on Thursday. The currency cross maintains its upward momentum following stronger-than-expected seasonally-adjusted Trade Balance data from Germany. Germany’s Trade Surplus widened to €19.1 billion in May, marking the largest surplus since February. This comfortably beat market forecasts of €14.8 billion and followed an upwardly revised €14.7 billion surplus in April. This expansion was driven by an unexpected 0.9% month-on-month surge in German exports, which hit a three-and-a-half-year high and defied expectations of a 0.3% decline. Conversely, imports dropped by 2.5% to a three-month low, missing the estimate for a 0.1% growth and reversing the previous month’s 1.1% gain. However, the upside of the EUR/JPY cross could be limited as the Japanese Yen (JP
The post Japanese Yen: Downside bias but mixed outlook – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang notes USD/JPY retains an upside bias, with scope for a test of 162.80 intraday while major resistance at 163.00 is unlikely to be reached. Over 1–3 weeks, the outlook is mixed, with trading expected between 160.60 and 163.00. On a 1–3 month view, the advance can extend as long as the pair holds above the 21-day EMA at 161.00. Advance intact while above 161.00 “24-HOUR VIEW: While we indicated yesterday that “the bias for USD is tilted to the upside,” we pointed out that “any advance is likely to be limited to a test of 162.70.” We pointed out that “support is at 162.00, followed by 161.80.” We were not wrong, as after dipping briefly to 162.05, USD rose and printed a high of 162.70. USD then eased from the high to close at 162.58 (+0.30%). Although there has been no clear increase in upward momentum, there is scope for USD to test 162.80 before a

The post EUR/GBP Price Forecast: Languishes below 0.8550 with bullish attempts subdued appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Euro (EUR) keeps treading water right above one-year lows against the British Pound (GBP) on Thursday. The EUR/GBP is trading flat in the area of 0.8530 at the time of writing, weighed by rising tensions between the US and Iran and the rebound in oil prices. In the Eurozone, German Trade Balance data beat expectations with a EUR 19.1 billion surplus in May, from the 14.5 billion surplus seen in April, as exports grew against expectations. The data, however, has failed to provide any significant support to the Euro. Meanwhile, the US has launched a new round of attacks in Iran, which targeted US bases in Gulf countries in retaliation. US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the ceasefire was over, and Crude prices have bounced up nearly10% with Brent Oil hitting the $80 level on Wednesday, after bottoming near $70.00 last week.
