The EUR/GBP pair extended its positive momentum on Monday after the European session, holding near the 0.8600 area following a 0.31% daily gain. Price action hovered mid-range between 0.8577 and 0.8624, with bulls managing to sustain control without triggering a breakout.

From a technical perspective, the MACD shows a buy signal, reinforcing the bullish tone. However, other indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 60, the Williams Percent Range at -34.32, and the Stochastic %K at 61.06, remain in neutral territory, pointing to a steady rather than aggressive upward bias.

The broader technical structure continues to support buyers. The 20-day SMA at 0.84937, along with the 100-day and 200-day SMAs at 0.83665 and 0.83854, respectively, confirm the bullish backdrop. Near-term averages — the 10-day EMA at 0.85657 and 10-day SMA at 0.85909 — also align with the ongoing upward trend.

On the downside, support is seen at 0.85909, followed by 0.85680 and 0.85657. If the pair manages to break above its daily peak, it could face resistance near the 0.8625 area.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold holds above $4,000/three-month low as Fed hike bets and firm USD cap upside

Gold struggles to capitalize on its modest recovery from levels below the $4,000 psychological mark, or a three-month low set earlier this Friday, and retains a bearish tone through the first half of the European session. Federal Reserve officials recently signaled there is no urgency to raise interest rates. Traders, however, are still pricing in around an 80% chance that the US central bank will raise borrowing costs again at its December policy meeting.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

Week ahead – Central bank and earnings bonanza could roil markets

Fed, ECB and BoJ to sit on the sidelines after September hikes. But RBNZ and BoC poised to lift borrowing costs. Inflation data out of the US, Japan, Australia to also be important. UK budget: no surprises would be good news for the Pound.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
