The EURGBP pair eased slightly on Wednesday, slipping toward the lower end of its recent consolidation range after the European session. The pair was last seen hovering near the 0.8600 area, reflecting a mild pullback within a still-bullish technical setup.

Momentum indicators are offering mixed cues. The Relative Strength Index stands around 55, indicating a neutral tone, while the MACD is currently printing a sell signal. The Ultimate Oscillator and Average Directional Index also remain in neutral territory, suggesting a lack of clear short-term directional conviction.

Despite this, the broader bias remains constructive. The 20-day simple moving average at 0.8516, along with the 100-day at 0.8372 and 200-day at 0.8387, all point upward. These longer-term signals are reinforced by bullish inputs from the 30-day exponential moving average at 0.8493 and the 30-day SMA at 0.8470.

Key support levels are located at 0.8550, 0.8527, and 0.8526. On the upside, immediate resistance is found at 0.8564, with additional barriers at 0.8569 and 0.8591. For now, the pair remains range-bound but retains a bullish tilt as long as it holds above the 0.8500 handle.

AUD/USD gathers some steam and manages to flirt with the 0.7150 level on Thursday.

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.

Gold puts its 200-day SMA to the test near $4,420

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.
