The EUR/GBP pair is trading with mild gains on Wednesday, hovering around the mid-0.8500 zone following the European session. The pair rebounded within the day’s range, showing modest upward pressure. Despite a neutral reading from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and a bearish signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), other tools like the Williams Percent Range and longer-term Simple Moving Averages help preserve a bullish tone. Traders are navigating through a mixed set of indicators while the price consolidates near short-term support.

EUR/GBP is currently showing a bullish structure overall. The MACD flashes a sell signal, indicating some resistance to immediate upside continuation, while the RSI holds in neutral territory near 50, confirming the indecision. On the other hand, the Williams Percent Range (14) at roughly -92 supports a rebound narrative, suggesting the pair may have entered oversold territory intraday. The Commodity Channel Index also remains in neutral ground, adding to the mixed short-term sentiment.

From a moving average perspective, the short-term 30-day exponential and simple moving averages, both below current price action, are signaling bullish momentum. However, the 20-day SMA, positioned just above the pair, acts as dynamic resistance and could cap immediate upside. Notably, the 100-day and 200-day SMAs — both sitting clearly below current levels — strengthen the longer-term bullish case.

Support lies at 0.8494, followed by 0.8485 and 0.8482. Resistance levels are seen at 0.8516, 0.8525, and 0.8526.

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.
