The EUR/USD pair extended its rally on Friday, rising sharply and moving near the 1.1300 zone after the European session. With the pair positioned mid-range between 1.1187 and 1.1473, bulls remain in control, pushing toward new highs for the year amid renewed risk appetite.

Technical indicators show a strong bullish setup, although some caution emerges. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 75.43, hinting at overbought conditions, while the MACD continues to generate a clear buy signal. The Stochastic %K at 74.94 and the Awesome Oscillator at 0.03 both remain neutral, suggesting momentum may stabilize in the short term.

The broader trend remains constructive, supported by upward-sloping moving averages. The 20-day SMA at 1.09102, the 100-day SMA at 1.05556, and the 200-day SMA at 1.07427 all suggest sustained upside pressure. Shorter-term moving averages like the 10-day EMA (1.10273) and 10-day SMA (1.09813) reinforce the ongoing bullish momentum.

Looking ahead, support levels are seen at 1.11728, 1.1103, and 1.10273. On the upside, traders may look for potential continuation toward the 1.14 handle if the bullish breakout holds, though slightly overbought conditions may prompt a pause or minor correction in the near term.

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

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.
