AUD/JPY treads water around 75.65 during the early Thursday morning in Asia. In doing so, the pair prints a spinning top candlestick on the four-hour (4H) chart while keeping the 75.58-75 trading range.

Although the candlestick marks traders’ indecision, MACD flirts with the bulls as the quote remains above 100-bar SMA.

As a result, AUD/JPY buyers will be delighted to take entries once the cross breaks the upper end of the latest range, 75.75. This will help the buyers to confront the 76.00 threshold while targeting Tuesday’s top surrounding 76.15.

It should, however, be noted the pair’s upside past-76.15 will be probed by a 200-bar SMA level of 76.36.

Alternatively, a downside break of 100-bar SMA, currently around 75.47, will drag the AUD/JPY prices toward an ascending trend line from September 29, at 75.00 now.

EUR/USD meets initial support around 1.1800

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, although it has managed to reverse the initial strong pullback toward the 1.1800 region and regain some balance, hovering around the 1.1850 zone as the NA session draws to a close on Tuesday. Moving forward, market participants will now shift their attention to the release of the FOMC Minutes and US hard data on Wednesday.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold remains offered below $5,000

Gold stays on the defensive on Tuesday, receding to the sub-$5,000 region per troy ounce on the back of the persistent move higher in the Greenback. The precious metal’s decline is also underpinned by the modest uptick in US Treasury yields across the spectrum.
