EUR/USD update – Euros look under pressure

Carol Harmer Charmer Trading

At this current time, the Euro remains under pressure following its failure to break above the 200-day moving average. Yesterday, price kissed the short-term 9-day M/A, and although the market appears steady, the weekly chart tells a different story.

From the 1.0200 area, we’ve seen a solid rally — but the weekly structure suggests a top may have formed in 2025. Technical indicators on that timeframe look weak, and momentum is fading.
For today, we look to the Daily Pivot Point at 1.1627 to guide direction. We’re currently trading around this level, but it’s still early doors.

Key levels to watch:

200-day M/A: 1.1674.
R1: 1.1657.
R2: 1.1691.
R3: 1.1715 — intersects with the 38.2% Fib at 1.1726.
9-day M/A: 1.1648.
23.6% Fib: 1.1642.

There’s clear confluence overhead — sellers are watching and waiting for a chance to strike and drive the market lower.
The DXY looks strong, but it has extended higher than EURUSD has traded lower — this could be a catch-up scenario.

For today, I believe it’s safer to sell rallies than to try picking a bottom. If we lose 1.1570, expect further selling pressure to emerge.
This is not investment advice — my money, my risk.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital

If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
