Shinji Kiyomoto, the agencys Earthquake and Tsunami Countermeasures Planning Officer, urged the public, "In areas where tsunami warnings have been issued, there is danger in the sea and near the coast. Please stay away from the shore. As tidal currents will remain relatively strong, please do not go into the sea or approach the coast until the warning is lifted." Kiyomoto also pointed out at the press conference, "Since the 7.5 magnitude earthquake that occurred late on December 8th off the coast of Aomori Prefecture, seismic activity in the surrounding area has become more active and the area of activity has continued to expand. This earthquake occurred on the eastern side of this active area. Since December 8th, several earthquakes of around magnitude 6 have occurred in the relevant sea areas, and this earthquake is one of them. Therefore, the Japan Meteorological Agency believes that seismic activity remains active."December 12th, Futures.com analysts latest view: WTI crude oil futures have recently continued their upward trend in intraday trading, attempting to recover some of the previous losses. Crude oil prices had previously reached clearly oversold levels, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) began to send positive signals, indicating that crude oil prices had entered an exciting phase, resulting in a limited intraday rebound. Despite the recovery, crude oil prices remain under significant downward pressure as they stabilize below the EMA50, further solidifying the short-term downtrend, especially given that it is trading along a steep secondary downtrend line. Therefore, unless prices can overcome these headwinds, the gains may still be limited.December 12th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: Spot gold has slightly declined in recent intraday trading, consolidating its previous strong gains and attempting to build upward momentum to pave the way for a new round of upward attempts. Previously, gold broke through the key resistance level of $4245, a potential target in our previous analysis. Gold is currently finding support as it continues to trade above the 50-day moving average, which strengthens the positive pressure in the short term. Despite being overbought, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also showing positive signals, and the upward trend remains dominant in the short term, continuing to trade along the supporting secondary trendline.

GBP/USD Price Analysis: Breaking Crucial Resistance at 1.2260

In the early Tokyo session, the GBP/USD pair is oscillating in a tight range between 1.2236 and 1.2266. After hitting a low of 1.2173 on Friday, the asset has been gradually ascending as risk-perceived currencies attracted strong interest.

 

A break to the upside of the cable from its prior range of 1.2173 to 1.2248 has strengthened the pound versus the dollar. The pair is hanging near the important horizontal resistance established by the high reached on May 9 at 1.2262. The trendline drawn from the March 5 high of 1.2663 and the previous week's high of 1.2400 will operate as a formidable barrier in the near future.

 

A sustained move above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.2233 is bullish for the currency pair. However, the asset remains below the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at 1.2340, indicating that a downward tendency persists.

 

The momentum oscillator, Relative Strength Index (RSI), (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating a lack of direction heading ahead.

 

If the asset surpasses the previously mentioned trendline at 1.2300, investors should consider a positive move. This will lead the asset in the direction of the previous week's peak at 1.2400, followed by the May 9 peak at 1.2662.

 

Alternatively, dollar bulls could reclaim control if the asset falls below Friday's low of 1.2173, sending it towards the 18 May 2020 low of 1.2075. A violation of the latter will drag the cable to the high of 1.1973 on March 25, 2020.
