   “¢   Risk-on mood weighed on JPY’s safe-haven appeal and assisted the cross to build on overnight rebound from near one-month low.

   “¢   Bulls, however, struggled to conquer 100-hour SMA and preferred to wait for today’s UK macro releases before positioning for any further up-move.

   “¢   Short-term technical indicators are gradually heading towards positive territory and might thus support prospects for an extension of the bullish momentum.
