EURJPY: Sell rallies toward 133.05

Yue Wang LinoCapital

EURJPY traded quietly in the 350 pips' range last month.

We see a potential Quarterly bearish outside bar.

Price still failed to close above monthly Ichimoku cloud.

Below 133.97 (Futures 134.02), the downtrend from 137.50 may not over yet.

Close above 133.59 will challenge this view.

Overlap or close above 133.97/134.02 may directly bullish toward 135.75.

To the downside, 131.75 is the first support level.

We could not rule out a slowly right shoulder building progress around 133.05.

If seen, near term strength still should be sold into against recent high.

EURJPY Trade Idea:

① Sell Limit @ 132.81 SL @ 133.75 Take Profit @ 131.75

② Sell Limit @ 133.14 SL @ 133.75 Take Profit @ 130.53

AUD/USD bounces back toward 0.6950 on fresh USD supply

AUD/USD bounces back toward 0.6950 in the Asian session on Friday. The US Dollar retreats from 17-month highs as traders take profits off the table ahead of the all-important US Nonfarm Payrolls report. Meanwhile, the Australian Dollar draws support from reviving expectations of a November interest rate hike amid elevated global yields and inflation risks.

USD/JPY struggles near 158.00 as USD retreats ahead of NFP

USD/JPY is struggling for fresh impetus near 158.00, moving away from the top end of its weekly range in the Asian session on Friday, after hotter-than-expected Tokyo CPI and amid a broad US Dollar retreat. Traders reposition themselves ahead of US Nonfarm Payrolls.

Gold remains capped below $4,200 as traders await US NFP for Fed rate cuts

Gold extends its sideways move on Friday, trading below the $4,200 mark heading into the European session as traders await the release of US employment details. The US Nonfarm Payrolls report is expected to show that the economy added only 90K jobs in September, down from the previous month's reading of 162K.

Pi Network retreats to key support level as selling pressure resurfaces

Pi Network price remains volatile in the near term, hovering around $0.0900 at press time on Friday after losing over 3% the previous day.

Pi Network struggles to maintain a steady recovery as the price remains capped below the $0.1000 psychological barrier.

US Nonfarm Payrolls expected to soften in September

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release September Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data on Friday at 12:30 GMT. Investors expect NFP to rise by 90K in September following August’s impressive 162K increase. The Unemployment Rate is seen holding steady at 4.1%, while the monthly wage inflation, as measured by the change in Average Hourly Earnings, is projected to hold steady at 0.3%.

Markets are pricing a Fed pause. The jobs data says the hike is still coming

The market has rapidly changed its mind about the Federal Reserve (Fed). Only a week ago, investors saw an October interest-rate hike as the most likely outcome. However, softer inflation and cautious comments from policymakers have since turned a pause into the dominant scenario. Yet beneath that dramatic repricing, the US economy is sending a considerably less dovish message.
