In Friday's session, the EUR/GBP pair was seen at 0.8560 after a downward rally of 0.70%. On the daily and four-hour chart, the cross reached oversold conditions suggesting that an upwards correction may be on the horizon, but the overall trend currently favours the sellers.

The technical indicators on the daily chart are exhibiting robust bearish momentum. The pair's position beneath the 20, 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) underscores the dominant downward trend. In addition, the rising red bars of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) concur with this downward outlook, reinforcing the influence of bearish pressure while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is navigated into oversold territory, a sign typically associated with selling saturation which tends to be followed by an upwards correction.

Examining the four-hour chart on the shorter time frame presents similar bearish signals. The pair shows signs of oversold conditions, as evidenced by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints rising red bars.

Support Levels: 0.8530, 0.8515, 0.8500.
Resistance Levels: 0.8600, 0.8630, 0.8670.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital

If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
