The price of gold declined due to the broad asset sell off. However, the price eventually found support in the 2,370.00 level. By mid-Wednesday, it has once again returned to trade near 2,400.00.

The rate hike done by the Bank of Japan pushed the USD/JPY down to the support of the 150.00 mark. However, the post event recovery was short-lived, as the central bankers revealed more tightening.

However, the top event still was the Fed. After the Fed not announcing anything new, the EUR/USD has picked a direction. On Thursday, the currency
In general, the situation has not changed over the weekend. The price for gold is testing the resistance of the 2,373.70/2,400.00 range. A bounce off from the range could result in the rate looking for support in the 2,350.00 and 2,340.00 levels.

The USD/JPY continued to decline and eventually reached the 152.00 mark.

The rate has encountered resistance near 1.2940 and declined to the support of the 1.2845/1.2855 range. The range is keeping the rate from declining further.

On Wednesday, the recovery faced the resistance of the 100-hour simple moving average and the 2,420.00 level. A move above 2,420.00 could be slowed down by the 200-hour simple

By mid-Wednesday, the pair had reached below the 154.50 level. Meanwhile, the 155.00 mark acted as resistance. The ongoing decline could look for
The GBP/USD had reached below the 1.2900 mark, but found support at 1.2880. On Wednesday morning, the rate was fluctuating between these two levels, as the UK S&P 500 Purchasing Managers Indices were released.
