The EUR/GBP pair saw slight weakness on Thursday, trading near the 0.8500 zone after the European session. Despite today’s marginal drop, the overall structure remains supportive of a bullish bias, backed by a firm base of longer-term moving averages. Short-term indicators, however, show conflicting signals, with momentum fading even as the broader trend holds steady.

From a technical standpoint, EUR/GBP is leaning bullish overall. The Relative Strength Index remains neutral near the midpoint, suggesting no extreme conditions. The MACD currently delivers a sell signal, indicating slowing momentum, while the Stochastic %K has dropped into oversold territory, flashing a potential buy setup. The Commodity Channel Index also sits neutral, adding to the mixed short-term picture.

The structural strength comes from the moving averages. The 50-day Exponential and Simple Moving Averages sit well below current prices and continue to point upward, reinforcing the broader bullish setup. In contrast, the 20-day SMA — positioned slightly above spot — may act as a short-term ceiling. Meanwhile, the 100-day and 200-day SMAs remain firmly bullish, continuing to provide a strong foundation for buyers.

Support is seen at 0.8478, followed by 0.8462 and 0.8434. Resistance stands at 0.8492, 0.8497, and 0.8516.

AUD/USD stuck as the RBA talks tough into a slowdown

The Australian Dollar is going nowhere in a hurry, and the contradiction at its core explains why. The Reserve Bank of Australia keeps dangling the prospect of another hike, yet the economy it governs just expanded 0.3% in the first quarter, a clear step down from the prior pace. A central bank threatening to tighten into a visible slowdown is not a recipe for conviction in either direction, and the tape shows it.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen coiled at the line, leaning on everyone but Japan

The Yen is doing very little, and that stasis is the whole story. USD/JPY sits glued near 160.00 not because Japan has found new strength, but because two outside forces are fighting to a draw over it: a US rate complex that keeps the dollar bid, and a Ministry of Finance that refuses to let the line break.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
