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 consolidates near 0.7000 as USD stays weak

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during Thursday’s Asian session, consolidating the previous day’s recovery gains from a near three-week low as the Democratic sweep in the US midterm elections and Iran diplomacy hopes continue to weigh on the US Dollar. Bulls, however, seem hesitant as focus shifts to Friday’s crucial US NFP report.

USD/JPY drifts lower to 158.25 on hawkish BoJ Minutes, weak USD

USD/JPY trades with a negative bias for the second straight day on Thursday as hawkish BoJ Minutes, showing members agreed to keep raising rates, and intervention risks support the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, US midterm election results and hopes for Iran diplomacy keep the US Dollar depressed as focus shifts to Friday’s US NFP report.

Gold trims gains, returns to $4,100

The memory trade collapses as Sandisk sheds 17%, Micron sinks to May levels

If Wednesday's stock market rally was a broad vote of confidence in the Democratic sweep of the US midterm elections, Thursday is the other side of that coin. While the AI sell-off already began on Wednesday, it has kicked into higher gear on Thursday. The NASDAQ Composite has swung to a 4% loss in the morning regular session, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones also shed Wednesday's gains.

NFP stress test: Six payrolls releases, measured in daily-loss limits

Friday's US employment report is usually previewed in terms of the headline number and the reaction in the Dollar. For a growing group of traders, those running funded or evaluation accounts with a fixed daily loss limit, there is a more practical question: how much of that limit can the first hour consume, regardless of direction?

US Dollar breaks below 101.50 as Democrats sweep Congress

The US Dollar (USD) comes under heavy selling pressure on Wednesday, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) falling around 0.5% to trade near 101.35 after sliding below the 101.50 level. The Greenback retreats to its lowest level in four weeks as investors reassess the political and economic outlook following the Democratic Party's sweeping victory in the United States (US) midterm elections.
