EUR/GBP picks up bids to 0.9022, down 0.10% on a day, during the pre-European trading on Monday. The pair dropped to the lowest in two months the last Wednesday before recovering from 200-day EMA.

However, upside momentum fizzled below a descending trend line from September 11, currently around 0.9075.

Considering the recent pullback moves, amid downbeat MACD signals, the quote is likely to remain depressed. This directs the EUR/GBP sellers towards an ascending support line from April 30, at 0.8966 now, before highlighting the 200-day EMA level of 0.8952 again.

Although the key EMA is likely to keep buyers hopeful, a clear downside below 0.8950 will direct the bears towards the September bottom surrounding 0.8865.

On the upside, a clear break of the stated trend line resistance near 0.9075 can aim for the October 20 peak close to 0.9150 and September 22 peak around 0.9220.

Though, a downward sloping trend line connecting highs marked in March and September, forming part of the broad symmetrical triangle, presently near 0.9230, becomes a key resistance to watch afterward.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold treads water below $4,300

Gold grabs some buying attention and advances marginally at the end of the week, partially retracing the weekly decline, although it is still navigating below the key $4,300 mark per troy ounce. The fresh selling bias on the Greenback and the modest decline in US Treasury yields appear to support the humble advance in the precious metal.

Week ahead: Rate hike bets face a crucial data week

Despite the solid drop from the mid-September high, oil prices remained in the driver’s seat for another week, setting the tone in financial markets. Six months have passed since the late-February start of the US-Iran conflict, and there is still no breakthrough in the stalled talks, despite pressure from regional leaders and the rest of the world.

CFTC Report: Defensive currency positioning takes hold

The week in one sentence: Sterling and Euro shorts deepened in the week to September 22, while Yen longs were cut sharply. Oil positioning improved despite a steep price decline, and Gold exposure remained crowded. The main signal was a more defensive currency positioning backdrop.

Fed vs BoJ: Both hiked. The market only believes one of them – and the chart shows which

The Fed and the BoJ have just done something remarkably similar. Both central banks raised interest rates by 25 bps last week, both are confronting inflation risks, and both signal that future decisions will depend on incoming economic data.
