AUD/USD Price Analysis: Immediate support line probes bears below 0.7750

AUD/USD fails to keep bounce off intraday low.
Downward sloping RSI favors bears eyeing monthly bottom.
February 23 low adds to the upside barriers.

AUD/USD holds lower ground, down 0.31% intraday around 0.7736, during the early Friday’s trading. In doing so, the aussie pair fades the latest bounce off intraday low of 0.7723 while declining for the second consecutive day.

It should be noted that the pair’s pullback from 0.7850, portrayed the previous day, suggests the failures to cross the early-month top and portrays a strong horizontal hurdle to the north around 0.7840-50.

Additionally, descending RSI line and challenges to the risk should also be considered favoring AUD/USD sellers.

Though, a clear break below an eight-day-old support line, at 0.7715 now, becomes necessary for the quote’s further weakness targeting the monthly low near 0.7620.

However, an extended south-run past-0.7620 will confirm the “double top” formation, with the tops near 0.7840-50, while suggesting a plunge to the late December 2020 lows surrounding 0.7460. During the fall, February low near 0.7560 can offer an intermediate stop to the bears.

On the flip side, a clear break of 0.7850 will have to cross the February 23 low of 0.7880 and the 0.7900 threshold before challenging the previous monthly peak close to the 0.8000 psychological magnet.

USD/JPY retreats from nearly two-year high on hawkish BoJ Minutes

USD/JPY drifts lower during the Asian session on Friday, retreating further from its highest level since July 2024, set the previous day. Minutes from the April BoJ meeting keep further policy normalization firmly on the table amid expectations for a pickup in inflation over the coming months, due to higher energy costs. This offsets Japan's softer National CPI print and lifts the Japanese Yen amid intervention fears, exerting some pressure on the currency pair.

AUD/USD awaits 0.7000 breakdown before the next leg down amid bullish USD

AUD/USD holds above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, though it remains close to the weekly low and seems poised to register modest weekly losses. The US Dollar sits near its highest level since May 2025 as the Fed's hawkish tilt overshadows optimism over the US-Iran peace deal, capping the currency pair. However, the RBA's signal that additional rate hikes were possible if inflation persists lends some support to the Aussie.

Gold refreshes weekly low as Fed's hawkish tilt underpins USD

Gold attracts sellers for the third consecutive day and weakens below $4,200, hitting a fresh weekly low during the Asian session on Friday. Despite the latest optimism over a US-Iran peace deal, the Fed's hawkish tilt helps the US Dollar to preserve its strong weekly gains to the highest level since May 2025. This, in turn, undermines the non-yielding bullion and backs the case for further losses.

Ethereum: Tokenization and network activity skyrocket in Q1 despite DeFi contraction

Following months of crashing prices and macro-driven fragility, Ethereum saw mixed performance across key metrics in the first quarter of 2026, according to Token Terminal. In its quarterly Ethereum report, the onchain analytical platform highlighted contraction across DeFi-focused metrics such as lending, trading volume and fees, while tokenization and throughput expanded.

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.
