EUR/GBP Price Forecast: Extends gains past the 50-day SMA and 0.8300

  • EUR/GBP rises past the 50-day SMA of 0.8359, setting sights on the 0.8400 resistance.
  • If breached, next key levels include the 100-day SMA at 0.8413, October 31 high of 0.8448.
  • Downside risks remain; a dip below 0.8359 could see consolidation or a retest of the 0.8260 level.

The EUR/GBP extended its gains for the fourth straight day, edged up above the 50-day Simpl Moving Average (SMA), and was exchanging hands at 0.8373 at the time of writing.

EUR/GBP Price Forecast: Technical outlook

After hitting a year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8260, the EUR/GBP has climbed past the 0.8300 figure, cleared on its way the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 0.8359 and paving the way for a test of 0.8400. A breach of the latter will expose the 100-day SMA at 0.8413, followed by the October 31 swing high of 0.8448.

Conversely, if EUR/GBP slips beneath the 50-day SMA at 0.8359, the pair might consolidate within the 0.8300-0.8359 area unless sellers drive the exchange rate below the bottom of the range, which would open the door to test 0.8260.

Indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hint buyers are in charge after turning bullish once they clear the 50 neutral line.

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.

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