EUR/GBP jumps to highs in over a month as bulls take charge

  • The EUR/GBP is trading near 0.8695 showing an uptick of 0.25%.
  • Positive signals of the daily RSI and the rising trend in MACD's histogram allude to an increasing buying drive.
  • Bull strength is palpable from the pair's position defiantly above the main SMAs.
  • Four-hour chart indicators hint at diminished bullish momentum.

In Thursday's session, the EUR/GBP is trading at 0.8695, posting a modest gain of 0.25%. The daily chart indicates a bullish trend with the buyers firmly in control, gaining valuable ground. However, the four-hour chart suggests a slight stagnation as the indicators have turned flat, and the earlier bullish momentum has noticeably eased off.

Looking at the daily chart indicators, the positive inclination in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the upward trend of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with its increasing green histogram hint towards a dominant buying momentum. The overall bullish bias is further confirmed by the pair's position above its 20-day, 100-day, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs).

Shifting the focus to the shorter time frame, the four-hour chart paints a contrasting picture. Following a period of bullish momentum, indicators have leveled off, and the buying sentiment seems to have cooled down a bit. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is flat but remains in positive territory, suggesting a slight slowdown in the buying momentum. Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows green bars that are rising, yet the bullish momentum appears to have waned.


Support Levels: 0.8675, 0.8665 (200-day SMA), 0.8640 (100-day SMA).
Resistance Levels: 0.8700, 0.8750, 0.8800.

AUD/USD falters just above 0.7000; looks at the jobs data

AUD/USD has briefly managed to surpass the 0.7000 threshold on Wednesday, although the move rapidly dissipated following higher-than-estimated US inflation data in September, which has eventually lent extra legs to the Greenback. Moving forward, the release of the labour market report will take centre stage in Australia on Thursday.

USD/JPY consolidates near 158.50; looks to US CPI for fresh impetus

USD/JPY stays range-bound near 158.50 in the Asian session on Wednesday, with looming intervention risks supporting the Japanese Yen and capping upside amid a softer US Dollar. However, geopolitical uncertainties act as a tailwind for the safe-haven USD and the pair. Traders also seem hesitant ahead of the release of the latest US inflation figures.

Gold remains offered below $4,100

Gold adds to the weekly bearish tone and slips back below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday. Indeed, the precious metal continues to suffer the stronger US Dollar and rising US Treasury yields as bets for extra tightening by the Fed remain on the rise following US inflation figures.

Bitcoin and Gold Forecast: BTC and XAU drop after hot US CPI
Bitcoin (BTC) is edging lower toward $82,000 on Wednesday as headwinds from sticky inflation in the United States (US) force investors to reevaluate their positioning. Gold (XAU/USD) remains under sustained selling pressure, trading below $4,100 and falling for a third consecutive day. As the correction intensifies, a retest of key $4,000 support appears likely unless bearish momentum abates.
Stock futures just went red on the CPI. Here's what the bond market is pricing that equities haven't caught up to
Since late June, the bond market has been pricing in a Federal Reserve (Fed) that keeps raising rates into 2027, and most US stocks have already been marked down for it. The S&P 500 hasn't, because a handful of AI-linked giants make up much of the index and their prices haven't followed the rest.
Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
