AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Drops from fresh 11-week top to revisit sub-77.00 area

AUD/JPY refreshes intraday low while breaking 100-HMA.
Marks repeated reversal from 77.00, one-week-old ascending triangle becomes the key to watch amid bearish MACD.

AUD/JPY drops to 76.74, down 0.12% intraday, during the early Monday. The quote rose to the highest since the mid-September during early Asia before taking a U-turn from 77.11.

In doing so, the AUD/JPY bulls mark another resistance to accept the ride beyond the 77.00, considering the last Wednesday’s pullback from 77.04.

The latest declines get validation from a downside break of 100-HMA and bearish MACD to suggest further weakness.

However, the support line of the short-term ascending triangle established since last Tuesday, at 76.60 now, holds the gate for the extended south-run targeting 200-HMA level of 76.30.

Meanwhile, a sustained break above 77.00 will have to refresh the multi-day high of 77.11 while targeting the September 11 top near 77.75.

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold remains below $5,200 despite tariff jitters and geopolitical risks

Gold is seen consolidating in a range below the $5,200 mark during the Asian session on Friday amid mixed cues. Trade jitters, along with the risk of a potential US-Iran war, act as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish outlook keeps the US Dollar close to the monthly high and caps the non-yielding yellow metal. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to register gains for the fourth straight week, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.
