The EUR/GBP pair remained relatively flat on Wednesday, hovering near the 0.8500 zone after the European session. Price action was contained within a narrow range, reflecting a market lacking clear directional momentum. While shorter-term indicators suggest some selling pressure, the broader structure remains bullish, supported by long-term moving averages that continue to trend upward.

From a technical standpoint, the pair presents a mixed picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 50, confirming a neutral stance, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints a sell signal, indicating potential near-term weakness. The Williams Percent Range and Average Directional Index are also neutral, pointing to a lack of strong directional bias in the immediate term.

However, the broader trend remains constructive. The 30-day Exponential Moving Average and 50-day Exponential Moving Average, both positioned just below current levels, reinforce the underlying bullish tone. Additionally, the 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages, significantly lower, continue to slope upward, providing a sturdy base for the pair over the medium term.

Support is found at 0.8500, 0.8470, and 0.8452. Resistance is seen at 0.8508, 0.8510, and 0.8513. A sustained move above resistance could confirm the broader bullish outlook, while a break below support would likely lead to a retest of recent lows.

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.
