AUD/USD Price Analysis: Seesaws inside triangle below 100-HMA

  • AUD/USD struggles to extend the latest recovery.
  • 100-HMA, triangle’s resistance question the buyers amid bullish MACD.
  • Sellers look for entry below 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, triangle support.

Despite bouncing off -1.0% to +2.15% at present, AUD/USD fades the strength above 0.5900 while taking rounds to 0.5870 during the early Friday.

In doing so, the Aussie pair stays inside a short-term symmetrical triangle below the 100-Hour Moving Average (HMA).

Even so, the bullish MACD propels the quote once again to test the waters above 0.5900 while targeting to confront the formation resistance and the 100-HMA confluence around 0.5940.

In a case where the bulls manage to cross 0.5940, 0.6000 and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of its declines between March 13 and 19, at 0.6015, could return to the charts.

Meanwhile, the pair’s declines below the formation support and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, around 0.5700 will be important to watch as it can recall the recently fleshed 11-year low close to 0.5510.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold bulls seem hesitant below $4,500 amid modest USD bounce ahead of US NFP

Gold remains on the defensive below the $4,500 mark through the Asian session, snapping a two-day winning streak amid a modest US Dollar uptick. The commodity, however, remains close to the weekly high, which it touched the previous day, as traders keenly await the release of the closely watched US monthly employment details. The popularly known US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report will provide more cues about the Fed's policy path amid receding bets of a September rate hike.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.
US August Nonfarm Payrolls expected to rebound to 56K after July slump

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is set to release the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for August. Investors expect NFP to rise by 56K in August following July’s unexpected print of -23K.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
