AUD/USD risks extra losses near term
AUD/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s uptick and refocuses on the downside, breaking below the 0.6500 support zone once again on Thursday. The daily downtick exposes the pair to a potential challenge of its critical 200-day SMA near 0.6450 sooner rather than later. AUD/USD Technical Overview The near-term outlook for AUD/USD now looks deteriorated, paving the way for further losses, while a challenge to the key 200-day SMA just below 0.6450 returning to the radar.

EUR/USD remains under pressure below 1.1500 after US data
EUR/USD stays on the back foot and trades below 1.1500 in the American session on Wednesday. The US Dollar benefits from upbeat ADP Employment Change and ISM Services PMI data for October, not allowing the pair to stage a rebound. EUR/USD Technical Overview In the 4-hour chart, EUR/USD is currently trading at around 1.1492, little changed on a daily basis.

The intense sell-off in the risk-associated universe weighs heavily on the Aussie Dollar on Tuesday, sending AUD/USD to the 0.6480 area, or two-week lows, against the backdrop of a firmer Greenback.

USD/JPY Price Forecast: Uptrend shows fatigue as RSI divergence hints at short-term pullback
The Japanese Yen (JPY) steadies against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, with USD/JPY pausing its two-day winning streak despite the Greenback’s broader strength, as renewed verbal warnings from Japanese officials revive intervention concerns. Japan’s new Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said the government is “closely monitoring FX with a high sense of urgency,” a remark that offered the Yen some intraday support after the pair touched fresh multi-month highs on Thursday.

Gold grinds north of $4,000 despite broad US Dollar strength
Gold is finding some footing on Thursday, orbiting around the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce and reversing four consecutive daily pullbacks. The US-China trade truce and the solid tone in the US Dollar seem to be limiting the precious metal’s upside potential. XAU/USD Technical Overview In the 4-hour chart, XAU/USD is currently trading at around $4,002, holding on to solid intraday gains. A bearish 20 SMA slides south at $3,973, sitting just above the 200 SMA, and both are

AUD/USD: A test of the YTD peak should not be ruled out
The late and strong rebound in the US Dollar prevents AUD/USD from extending its positive streak on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the Aussie had met support in the firmer-than-expected inflation data in Australia and hopes of a favourable outcome from the US-China trade discussions. AUD/USD Technical Overview The firmer-than-expected inflation prints in Australia have lent support to the view that the RBA will refrain from lowering its OCR next week, further underpinning t

GBP/USD Weekly Forecast: Pound Sterling sellers return; focus shifts to Fed
The Pound Sterling (GBP) faced rejection once again on its way to the 1.3500 level when compared with the US Dollar (USD), sending GBP/USD back toward the 1.3300 mark. The pair felt the heat of the USD resurgence as a safe-haven asset, while increased dovish bets surrounding the Bank of England’s (BoE) interest rate outlook added to its downside. Growing geopolitical and trade tensions dented risk appetite at the start of the week, lifting the haven demand for the Greenba

XAU/USD Technical Overview From a technical point of view, the XAU/USD pair is at risk of falling further, particularly if the $4,000 threshold gives up.

AUD/USD risks a drop to 0.6440
AUD/USD trades on a negative foot on Tuesday, reversing two daily advances in a row and returning to the sub-0.6500 zone on the back of the continuation of the strong sentiment around the US Dollar. Easing tensions on the US-China trade front, in the meantime, failed to underpin the recent rebound in the Aussie. AUD/USD Technical Overview So far, extra gains in AUD/USD appear limited by the provisional 100-day and 55-day SMAs at 0.6533 and 0.6547, respectively. Once this

Meanwhile, investors continue to assess the ongoing US-China trade effervescence and the likelihood of a dovish Fed at its meeting next week. EUR/USD Technical Overview EUR/USD’s price action looks unconvincing and unclear. In case the ongoing recovery picks up a more serious pace, the pair should retarget the October peak at 1.1778 (October 1), seconded by the 2025 high of 1.
