EUR/JPY gains ground after a neutral day, trading around 173.10 during the Asian hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a revival of bullish bias as the currency cross rebounded toward the ascending channel pattern.

However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the 50 mark, suggesting that bearish bias is still in play. Additionally, the short-term price momentum is weaker as the EUR/JPY cross is positioned below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

On the downside, the primary support appears at the 50-day EMA at 172.49. A break below this level would weaken the medium-term price momentum and put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to navigate the region around the three-month low of 169.72, which was recorded on July 31.

A successful return into the ascending channel would revive the bullish bias and lead the EUR/JPY cross to test its initial barrier at the nine-day EMA of 173.48. Further advances would improve the short-term price momentum and support the currency cross to explore the area around the ascending channel’s upper boundary at 175.40, aligned with the all-time high of 175.43, reached in July 2024.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.6950 amid bullish USD

AUD/USD consolidates during the Asian session on Thursday, trading just above 0.6950 as traders await further developments surrounding the Middle East crisis. The Pentagon reportedly ordered readiness for potential strikes against Iran. This keeps the geopolitical risk premium in play, which, along with hawkish FOMC Minutes on Wednesday and elevated US bond yields, supports the bullish US Dollar and caps the currency pair.

USD/JPY slips below 158.00 as bulls turn cautious amid JPY intervention fears

USD/JPY retreats further from a one-and-a-half-week top, touched the previous day, and slid below 158.00 during the Asian session on Thursday amid speculation that authorities will step in to prop up the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar sits near an 18-month high, supported by Wednesday's hawkish FOMC Minutes and the risk of a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East. This might continue to act as a tailwind for the currency pair.

Gold hangs near two-month low; seems vulnerable around $4,100

Gold struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from a two-month low, trading with a mild negative bias around $4,100 during Thursday’s Asian session. Hawkish FOMC Minutes reaffirmed bets for at least one more rate hike by year-end. Adding to this, elevated US bond yields weigh on the non-yielding bullion. The US Dollar further benefits from geopolitical uncertainties and sits near an 18-month high, undermining the commodity.

Ethereum drops below $2,600 as Tom Lee says BitMine will end buying spree

Ethereum (ETH) treasury firm BitMine Immersion (BMNR) will halt its weekly accumulation of the top altcoin over the next few months. BitMine Chairman Thomas Lee, speaking at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, said that the company will stop buying when its stash reaches 5% of ETH's circulating supply. He noted that BitMine will reach that threshold if it acquires an additional 100,000 ETH.

The US 10-year just hit a 2002 high. Does it give the US Dollar its next leg?

In 2026, the US Dollar Index, which measures the Dollar against six major currencies, has risen on days when Federal Reserve rate expectations pushed Treasury yields up and barely moved on days when something else did. The last stretch of the 10-year yield's climb to its highest since 2002 was the second kind.

The UK 30-year gilt just hit a 1998 high. Is that good or bad for the British Pound?

The yield on the UK's 30-year government bond, or gilt, went through 6% on October 1 for the first time since early 1998, and on Monday the Pound was at its strongest against the Euro since June 2025. The gilt market's 28-year high is mostly someone else's. Since early May, the 30-year gilt yield has risen about 0.15 of a percentage point and the US 30-year about 0.7.
