AUD/JPY picks up bids to 91.90 as buyers attack a short-term key hurdle after the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) latest Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes during early Tuesday.

Even so, the cautious mood ahead of the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) monetary policy meeting tests the cross-currency pair traders as it portrays the Inverse Head and Shoulders bullish chart pattern amid the looming bull cross on the MACD.

That said, the quote’s further upside aims for the 200-SMA level surrounding 92.15 before a one-week-old resistance line, close to 92.55 by the press time, could challenge the AUD/JPY buyers.

It’s worth noting that the inverse H&S formation suggests the theoretical target of 92.80 but an upside break of the 92.55 resistance line, mentioned above, won’t hesitate to challenge the previous weekly top of 93.35. In doing so, the quote may take a halt near the 93.00 round figure.

On the contrary, a downside break of the stated bullish formation’s neckline, currently around 91.90, could drag the quote back towards the monthly low marked the previous day near the 91.00 round figure.

However, lows marked in October and August, respectively near 90.85 and 90.55, could challenge the AUD/JPY bears afterward.

GBP/USD bulls seem hesitant as Hormuz ship attack supports safe-haven USD

The GBP/USD pair sticks to a positive bias for the second straight day, albeit it remains below the previous day's swing high and trades just below the 1.3200 mark during the Asian session on Friday. Furthermore, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution before positioning for any meaningful recovery from November 2025 lows, around the 1.3140 region, touched on Wednesday.

EUR/USD softens toward 13‑month low near 1.1350 as rising US PCE inflation lifts US Dollar

The EUR/USD pair loses ground to around 1.1365 during the early Asian trading hours on Friday. The major remains near a 13-month low as market expectations for US interest rate hikes have risen. Traders brace for the release of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index report, which will be released later on Friday.

Gold drifts lower as Hormuz risks revive USD demand

Gold struggles to build on the overnight bounce from its lowest level since November 2025 as geopolitical risks stemming from an attack on a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz support the US Dollar. Meanwhile, mostly in-line US inflation data eased bets for Fed rate hikes this year, capping the USD and helping the non-yielding bullion to hold above $4,000 during the Asian session. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to record losses for the fourth consecutive week.

Uniswap adds $150M in Spark stablecoin liquidity, launches no-code token auction tool

Uniswap received $150 million in stablecoin liquidity from Spark, with the assets set to transition to DualPool, a new custom liquidity hook, according to an announcement on Thursday.

Micron prints perfect, and now the chart has to answer

Memory’s biggest name just delivered the cleanest quarter of its life, and the most interesting thing about it is that the stock isn’t sure what to do with it. Micron closed out fiscal Q3 with revenue of $41.5 billion, up 346% on the year, a fifth straight record. Gross margin came in at 84.9%, up from 39% the same quarter a year ago. Earnings landed at $25.11 against a Street sitting near $20.49.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
