The EUR/USD pair trades on a stronger note near 1.0785 for four straight days during the early European session on Monday. The decline of the US Dollar (USD) provides some support for the major pair. Two European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers said Eurozone inflation is heading back towards the 2% target, but the ECB needs further data to confirm before it can cut rates. Nonetheless, the FOMC Minutes and the Eurozone data, including the PMI and CPI inflation report could offer some hints about the inflationary trajectory.

From a technical perspective, EUR/USD keeps the bearish vibe unchanged as the major pair is below the key 100-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the four-hour chart. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) returns above the 50-midline, hinting that the buyers could retain control in the near term.

A potential resistance level for the major pair will emerge near the confluence of the 100-period EMA, the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band, and the psychological mark at the 1.0790–1.0800 region. A decisive break above this level will pave the way to a high of January 26 at 1.0885. The additional upside filter to watch is the 1.0900 psychological round mark.

On the flip side, the initial support level for the EUR/USD pair is seen near a low of February 5 at 1.0723. The key contention level is located near a round figure, a low of February 13, and the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 1.0700. Any follow-through selling below the latter will see a drop to a low of November 9 at 1.0660.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.

Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

The Japanese Yen (JPY) experienced a sudden burst higher after falling back below the 160.00 psychological mark against the US Dollar (USD) earlier this week amid a more hawkish repricing of Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike expectations.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
