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 holds rebound near 0.6900 on US-China trade optimism

AUD/USD holds the rebound near 0.6900 in the Asian session on Monday. Mixed China's inflation data for October fails to provide any inspiration to the Chinese proxy, the Australian Dollar, but China's extension of the suspension of 24% tariffs on US goods and reduced US-Iran tensions help the Aussie pair cling to recovery gains.

USD/JPY retreat in sync with USD, appraches 158.00

USD/JPY is back in the red at the start of the week on Monday, eyeing the broad US Dollar retreat amid easing US-Iran tensions. Traders also resorting to profit-taking following the blockbuster US Nonfarm Payrolls data-led rally. US CPI report is next in focus.

Gold holds gains near $4,100 as risk appetite hits the USD

Solana: Persistent ETF outflows extend downside risk in SOL

Solana trades below $90 on Monday, ticking higher after over 3% losses below a long-term support trendline the previous day. SOL has been steadily declining over the last five weeks, aligning with five straight weekly outflows from Solana-focused Exchange-Traded Funds totaling over $150 million.

Economics week ahead

This week, attention turns to Tuesday’s CPI report, with no year-over-year readings available because of last October’s shutdown-related data gap. We expect headline and core inflation to clock 0.28% and 0.21% month-over-month, respectively. Softer core inflation would offer some relief after September’s upside surprise but should still leave our call for a December rate hike intact.
