AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls advance to multi-week highs, consolidation incoming

  • The AUD/JPY rose in Monday's session at 97.60 with a gain of 0.23%.
  • Hourly chart shows RSI and MACD dip, highlighting short-term buyers' shift to consolidate gains.
  • The overall trend still favors the bulls.

In Monday's session, the AUD/JPY is trading at 97.60, registering a gain of 0.23%. The pair has seen a recent push from the buyers, which made indicators reach overbought territory and now indicators are consolidating. The overall trend still favors the buyers as the pair is still above its main Simple Moving Averages (SMAs)

Analyzing the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which resides within the positive territory, continues to show an increasing trend, suggesting that buyers are currently exerting pressure on the market. This aligns with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram, which printed a green bar implying that the bulls jumped back a into positive territory.

Concentrating on the hourly chart, the RSI dipped back from the overbought area struck earlier in the session to the positive domain, hinting at a more balanced, albeit still buyers-favoured, market in recent hours. In line with that, the MACD histogram has been rising, throughout the session but now seems to have flattened as buyers are taking a breather.

Taking the pairs' position into account relative to its main Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), the broader trend is on the buyer's side, as the pair is above the 20, 100, and 200-day SMAs. Yet, for the rest of the session, the cross may continue side-ways trade to consolidate the gains from its recent push.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading 

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
