DXY Technical Analysis: The greenback faces formidable resistance just above 96.00

DXY has once again failed to extend the breakout of the critical 96.00 milestone on sustainable basis today, although it remains lingering over that key level so far.
The greenback needs to advance beyond the low-96.00s, where coincide recent peaks, a Fibo retracement of the 2017-2018 drop at 96.04 and the short term resistance line, today at 96.16.
If the up move gathers serious traction, the YTD peak in levels just shy of 97.00 the figure should emerge on the horizon.

EUR/USD stays defensive below 1.1600 as USD rebounds

EUR/USD trades marginally lower below 1.1600 in the European session on Friday. The pair edges down as the US Dollar rebounds slightly after Thursday’s massive profit-taking pullback. Looming US-Iran uncertainty revives the haven demand for the Greenback, while the Euro takes a breather after the hawkish ECB hike-led rally.

GBP/USD holds steady above 1.3400 ahead of US sentiment data

GBP/USD recovers losses and trades modestly flat above 1.3400 in the European trading hours on Friday. The UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined by 0.1% in April, limiting the pair's upside amid renewed US Dollar weakness. The focus now remains on the US Michigan Consumer Sentiment data.

Gold flatlines above $4,200; bearish bias intact amid US-Iran risks

,Gold recovers modest intraday losses, and turns flat during the first half of the European session, though it remains below the daily peak. Despite uncertainty over the US-Iran peace deal, a steadier mood fails to help the US Dollar in preserving its gains. This is seen as a key factor offering some support to the commodity.

Pi Network: Bulls attempt comeback as bearish strength fades

Pi Network (PI) is trading at around $0.120 after a modest recovery the previous day. Despite this recent rebound, traders should be cautious as a scheduled unlock of 14.8 million PI tokens on Friday could limit the token's recovery potential by increasing market supply. Meanwhile, the technical outlook is showing early signs of fading bearish momentum, suggesting a short-term bounce.

Week ahead – Central bank barrage ahead: Fed, BoJ, RBA, SNB and BoE in focus

The US dollar outperformed most of its major counterparts this week, with investors remaining convinced that the Fed may need to press the rate hike button before the end of this year. Fed hike bets were significantly bolstered after the US jobs report for May came in much stronger than expected, with nonfarm payrolls rising to 172k and confounding expectations of a much more modest 85k gain.

4.2% headline, 0.2% core: Why the Fed's next hike may be targeting the wrong problem

May's CPI put headline inflation at 4.2% on the year, up from 3.8% in April and the hottest reading since April 2023, while core prices rose just 0.2% on the month, undershooting the 0.3% consensus and halving April's pace.
