EUR/USD gained some ground as traders waited for tariff news. From a big picture point of view, traders are not ready for big moves ahead of the press conference, which will reveal the tariff policy.

A move below the 50 MA at 1.0888 will push EUR/USD towards the support level at 1.0750 – 1.0765.

GBP/USD is trying to rebound after yesterday’s strong sell-off. RSI is in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain momentum in the near term.

In case GBP/USD manages to settle above the resistance level at 1.2780 – 1.2800, it will head towards the next resistance at 1.2850 – 1.2870.

USD/CAD Is Losing Ground As Demand For Commodity-Related Currencies Is Rising

USD/CAD pulled back as demand for commodity-related currencies increased. Most likely, USD/CAD will be sensitive to tariff news as they will have a material impact on commodity markets.

A move above the 1.4200 level will push USD/CAD towards the 50 MA at 1.4260.

USD/JPY Retreats As Treasury Yields Pull Back

USD/JPY
USD/JPY 080425 4h Chart

USD/JPY tests support at 146.50 – 147.00 as Treasury yields pull back. The yield of 2-year Treasuries declined towards the 3.75% level, while the yield of 10-year Treasuries settled below 4.20%.

A successful test of the support at 146.50 – 147.00 will open the way to the test of the next support level at 143.50 – 144.00.
