AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Tests 93.00 level, next support at lower descending channel limit

  • AUD/JPY tests the psychological support level at 93.00.
  • The 14-day RSI remains above the 30 mark, reinforcing the prevailing bearish bias.
  • The pair could test the primary barrier at the nine-day EMA of 93.78

AUD/JPY extends its losses for the second consecutive day, trading around 93.00 during Asian hours on Friday. A technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the currency cross remains within a descending channel, confirming a sustained bearish bias.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 30 level, reinforcing the ongoing bearish sentiment. A drop below 30 would signal an oversold condition, potentially triggering an upward correction. Additionally, the AUD/JPY cross continues to trade below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), indicating weak short-term price momentum.

The AUD/JPY cross is testing the psychological support level at 93.00, followed by the lower boundary of the descending channel at 91.90. A decisive break below this channel could reinforce the bearish outlook, potentially driving the currency cross toward the 90.13 region—the lowest level since May 2023, last seen on August 5, 2024.

On the upside, the AUD/JPY cross faces initial resistance at the nine-day EMA of 93.78. A breakout above this level could improve short-term price momentum, potentially driving the currency cross toward the upper boundary of the descending channel at the psychological level of 95.50, followed by the 50-day EMA at 95.91.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
