AUD/JPY extended its losses on Thursday ahead of the Asian session, dipping below the key 94.00 level as selling pressure intensified. This marks the second consecutive session in the red, with technical indicators pointing toward further weakness.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has now fallen below the 50 threshold, confirming a shift into bearish territory. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is printing flat green bars, indicating a lack of strong momentum from buyers.

With the pair trading under 94.00, the next key support lies around the 93.20 area, where buyers could attempt to stabilize the decline. A break below this level could expose further downside toward the 92.50 zone. On the flip side, immediate resistance is seen at 94.50, followed by stronger resistance near 95.00.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
