AUD/USD Price Forecast: Holds losses below 0.7150 as descending wedge emerges

AUD/USD may rise toward the nine-day EMA of 0.7164.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 48 signals the recent pullback is consolidating with neither bulls nor bears in control.
The pair may find immediate support at the 50-day EMA of 0.7115.

AUD/USD extends its losses after a slight decline in the previous day, trading around 0.7140 during the Asian hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates that the pair remains within an emerging descending wedge, suggesting two scenarios depending on how the price reacts to its boundaries.

A decisive break above the wedge's upper downward-sloping resistance line signals that buyers have taken control, hinting at a potential upward trend reversal. Because the pattern is still "emerging," if the price fails to break out of the upper boundary, it suggests the asset will continue to chop downward and consolidate within the narrowing bands until a breakout occurs.

The AUD/USD pair is holding just above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) but is capped by the nine-day EMA. This positioning, alongside a 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering near a neutral 48, hints at a consolidative, slightly capped tone after the recent pullback, with neither bulls nor bears in firm control.

The AUD/USD pair may retest the initial barrier at the nine-day EMA of 0.7164, followed by the upper boundary of the descending wedge around 0.7200. A break above the wedge support the pair to approach the 0.7277, the highest since June 2022, recorded on May 6.

On the downside, the immediate support lies at the 50-day EMA of 0.7115, followed by the lower wedge boundary around 0.7080. Further declines below the boundary would put downward pressure on the AUD/USD pair to navigate the region around the four-month low of 0.6833, which was recorded on March 30.

AUD/USD: Next upside target comes at 0.7000

AUD/USD has advanced further, clinching its third consecutive day of gains and trading at shouting distance from the key 0.7000 threshold on Tuesday. The widespread improved sentiment in the risk complex helped the Aussie maintain its upside momentum, while the fresh selling impulse in the Greenback also contributed to the move.

USD/JPY rises back above 158.00 despite hawkish BoJ outlook

USD/JPY rises back above 158.00 in the early European morning on Tuesday. The pair strengthens as the Japanese Yen fails to find any inspiration from hawkish BoJ expectations and looming intervention risks. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty and elevated US bond yields keep the US Dollar near its YTD high despite receding October Fed hike bets. This, in turn, helps the pair stay supported.

Gold stays firm; looks at $4,200

Gold builds on Monday’s marginal bounce, although it struggles to reclaim the key $4,200 mark per troy ounce so far on Tuesday. The yellow metal’s advance comes on the back of the fresh downside momentum in the US Dollar in tandem with retreating US Treasury yields across the curve.

Ethena Price Forecast: ENA corrects as Ether.Fi launches stablecoin on the protocol

Ethena (ENA) trades near $0.24000 on Tuesday amid growing technical weakness. The Ethereum Layer-2 token has shed some of its recent gains, which peaked at $0.2946 on September 27, reinforcing profit-taking and buyer exhaustion. An extended sell-off would bring ENA to test the psychological support at $0.2000 and key technical levels further down.

The JPY is drifting near 158.00 against the USD ahead of a busy week of Japanese data and a still-unclear BoJ timetable. The two most recent FXStreet analyses agree on the direction, but they disagree on the target and the mechanism.

Eurozone inflation just hit 3.8%, its highest in three years. This chart shows why the ECB can’t simply hike its way out

The ECB would normally have a relatively straightforward answer to inflation running almost twice its target: raise interest rates. But these are not normal circumstances. This time, the bond market is already doing part of the tightening for it, leaving the ECB facing an increasingly difficult dilemma.
