On Monday, the AUD/JPY pair showed signs of stabilizing and rebounded to 103.80, near the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). This could indicate a potential easing of the downward momentum that followed last week's consolidation phase.

Turning attention to the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) analysis, the index currently stands at 52. Compared to earlier readings, a notable increase suggests the pair's momentum may have taken a bullish turn in the near term. Furthermore, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) continues to chart flat red bars, indicating a flattening negative momentum.

AUD/JPY daily chart

If the pair succumbs to further losses, the 100 and 200-day SMAs provide solid support platforms at around 99.80 and 97.98 respectively. If a bullish reaction propels the pair above the currently challenging 20-day SMA at 103.90, and towards the 105.00 level, significant resistance is to be expected. However, if these resistance barriers hold firm, the AUD/JPY pair may prolong its consolidation stage.

In conclusion, the AUD/JPY pair has encountered strong support at 103.00, indicated by its recent recovery to 103.80 on Monday. This could suggest a potential easing of the bearish pressure unless the pair is able to break through the 20-day SMA of 103.90.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
