EUR/GBP technical analysis: Bulls regain the 200-day SMA, four-hour chart signals overbought conditions

  • The EUR/GBP rose towards 0.8675 with gains of 0.25%.
  • The pair now sustains above the 20,100,200-day SMAs, affirming the positive bias on the wider frames.
  • The four-hour chart indicators near overbought conditions suggest a correction may be on the horizon.

In Thursday's session, the EUR/GBP rose to 0.8675, registering gains of 0.25%. On the daily chart, the bullish sentiment prevailed as the bulls continued to gain ground. Nevertheless, on the four-hour chart, indicators suggest a nearing overbought market, hinting at a potential reversal.

The buying momentum is reflected in the positive territory and incline of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Furthermore, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also depicts an identical scenario with the rising green bars, a strong indication of bullish pressure. Moreover, the pair's position relative to the 20,100,200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) reaffirms this stance. The pair lying above these SMAs suggest that the bulls have taken the reins, driving the overall trend.

On examining the four-hour chart, it's evident that the momentum remains on the buyer's side as well. However, the notion of the indicators nearing overbought territories hints that a brief respite for the bulls may be on the horizon to consolidate bays. Nevertheless, as the RSI remains in the upward trajectory and the green bars of MACD are on a climb, the short-term technical outlook remains bullish, albeit with a likely slight impending pullback.

Support Levels: 0.8660 (200-day SMA), 0.8640 (100-day SMA), 0.8600.

Resistance Levels: 0.8700, 0.8730, 0.8750.

AUD/USD drops to one-week low, below 0.6950 on weak Aussie jobs data

AUD/USD attracts some sellers in reaction to disappointing Australian jobs data, extending the previous day's retracement slide from the monthly high and hitting a fresh weekly low during Thursday’s Asian session. Meanwhile, declining US bond yields drag the US Dollar away from the April 2025 high, touched after Wednesday's hot US CPI, helping limit losses for the currency pair.

USD/JPY slides back below 158.00 as USD reverses post-CPI gains

USD/JPY extends the previous day's pullback from a three-week high, attracting follow-through selling and sliding below 158.00 during Thursday's Asian session. Traders remain on high alert amid speculation that authorities will step in to prop up the Japanese Yen. The US Dollar, meanwhile, reverses Wednesday's hot CPI-led gains to April 2025 highs as US bond yields retreat, further pressuring the currency pair.

Gold recovers to $4,150 as retreating US bond yields weigh on USD

Gold attracts strong buying during the Asian session on Thursday, snapping a three-day losing streak to a one-week low. Retreating US bond yields drag the US Dollar away from the April 2025 high, touched in reaction to Wednesday’s hot US CPI report, and boost the non-yielding bullion. That said, energy-driven inflation risks keep bets of a Fed rate hike firmly on the table, which should cap the precious metal.

Bitcoin falls on hot CPI: Why $80,000 support matters

Bitcoin's (BTC) most critical level to watch is near $80,000 as September's hot inflation reading pressures the crypto market, according to Glassnode. The top crypto declined within minutes of the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, which showed a 3.7% annual increase in headline inflation, above forecasts of 3.6%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, came in at 2.6%.

Stock futures just went red on the CPI. Here's what the bond market is pricing that equities haven't caught up to

Since late June, the bond market has been pricing in a Federal Reserve that keeps raising rates into 2027, and most US stocks have already been marked down for it. The S&P 500 hasn't, because a handful of AI-linked giants make up much of the index and their prices haven't followed the rest.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
