USD/JPY Technical: Potential impending minor bullish breakout for Japanese yen
USD/JPY hit a four-month high of 150.92 on 1 Aug before reversing sharply, forming a weekly bearish “Shooting Star.” Price action now sits below its 20-day moving average, with a potential minor bearish breakdown looming under 148.15. A drop below 146.60 could open the path to 145.85 and 144.50, while a break above 148.15 may trigger a squeeze toward 148.75 and 149.50.

BoE poised to lower rates, Pound steady
The BoE is widely expected to lower rates today by a quarter-point to 4.0%. This would be the first rate cut since February. The BoE is caught between a deteriorating economy and rising inflation and that could be reflected in a split MPC vote.

EUR/GBP Technical: Bullish impulsive upleg intact (EUR outperformance over GBP) as BoE looms
The Bank of England is expected to cut interest rates by 25 bps to 4%, its lowest in over two years, amid persistent inflation concerns. UK core inflation rose to 3.7% y/y in June, well above the 2% target. Ahead of the BoE decision, EUR/GBP appears poised for a potential bullish breakout, supported by firm technical momentum and narrowing in the discount of German-UK bond yield spreads, with key resistances at 0.8740 and 0.8800, followed by 0.8860 next.

EUR/USD Technical: Poised for a minor bullish breakout in euro strength
The euro staged a sharp rebound against the US dollar on 1 August, gaining 1.5% after weaker-than-expected US jobs data halted a week-long decline. Since 4 August, EUR/USD has traded in a narrow range, as markets digest rising stagflation risks and await President Trump’s Fed nomination. Technical indicators suggest a potential bullish breakout, with support at 1.1520 and resistance at 1.1600 and 1.1680/1705.

Eurozone, US Services PMI lower than expected
Business activity remains weak in both the eurozone and the US. Eurozone Services PMI rose slightly in July to 51.0, up from 50.5 in June. In the US, the ISM Services PMI softened to 50.1, down from 50.8 in June. This points to stagnation in the services sector.
