AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Aussie falling back into new weekly lows, heading for 96.00

The AUD/JPY is backsliding after seeing a rejection from the 97.00 handle.
Aussie bidders are getting washed out of the market, pushing the AUD down across the board.
Intraday momentum is firmly pinned into the bearish side.

The AUD/JPY is seeking out further downside as the Aussie markets tilt firmly into the bearish side heading into the Friday market session.

The Aussie's (AUD) near-term bullish stance from last week is cracking into pieces, marking in a technical ceiling against the Yen (JPY) after a failed push into 97.60 sees the AUD/JPY dumping chart paper. Bids have tumbled below the 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) as intraday momentum rotates into bear country.

Bids are seeing near-term friction from the 96.40 region, but a short-side continuation will see the AUD/JPY extending downwards into the 96.00 handle.

The 50-hour SMA is falling back into the longer moving average but still remains on the top side, and a bearish confirmation could see any bullish pullbacks primed for a continuation lower if bidders don't step into markets and recover the AUD heading into the week's market close.

EUR/USD recedes to daily lows near 1.1850

EUR/USD keeps its bearish momentum well in place, slipping back to the area of 1.1850 to hit daily lows on Monday. The pair’s continuation of the leg lower comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar in a context of scarce volatility and thin trade conditions due to the inactivity in the US markets.

GBP/USD resumes the downtrend, back to the low-1.3600s

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Friday’s decent advance, refocusing on the downside and retreating to the 1.3630 region at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, the British Pound is expected to remain under the microscope ahead of the release of the key UK labour market report on Tuesday.

Gold looks inconclusive around $5,000

Gold partially fades Friday’s strong recovery, orbiting around the key $5,000 region per troy ounce in a context of humble gains in the Greenback on Monday. Additing to the vacillating mood, trade conditions remain thin amid the observance of the Presidents Day holiday in the US.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

Monero Price Forecast: XMR risks a drop below $300 under mounting bearish pressure

Monero (XMR) starts the week under pressure, recording a 4% decline at press time on Monday after a 7% drop the previous day, putting the $300 support zone in focus.
