The EUR/GBP pair is currently trading at 0.8550, with minor losses on Friday’s session. The sellers are exerting their presence as bullish momentum remains weak and the fact that the cross remains below its main Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of 20,100 and 200-days contributes to the bearish bias.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently resides in negative territory but stands flat while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints neutral green bars, suggesting stagnant momentum. This demonstrates the trend might continue in the near term.

Moving to the hourly chart, the RSI shows a mixed trend with readings ranging from 33 and then recovering to 50 standing on the edge of the neutral-negative territory. Coupled with flat green bars on the MACD histogram, there might be a shift towards a bearish momentum after the bulls' short recovery during the European session.

EUR/GBP hourly chart

In conclusion, both the daily and hourly analyses point to a primarily negative trend for EUR/GBP, albeit with potential hourly fluctuations. If the buyers want to avoid losses they should reclaim the 200-day SMA around 0.8550 and build support around it.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold tumbles as blockbuster US NFP lift US Dollar, Treasury yields

Gold (XAU/USD) falls sharply on Friday, snapping a two-day recovery after the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report surprised strongly to the upside. The metal briefly climbed above $4,500 on Thursday, gaining nearly 2%, but has since erased a large part of that advance.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.

Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

The Japanese Yen (JPY) experienced a sudden burst higher after falling back below the 160.00 psychological mark against the US Dollar (USD) earlier this week amid a more hawkish repricing of Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike expectations.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
