EUR/USD kicked off the week with a solid rally rising past 1.0450, climbing above key technical levels and suggesting that buyers are regaining momentum. The pair decisively broke through the confluence of the 20-day and 100-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), reinforcing a shift in sentiment. This move comes after last week's struggle around these levels, where sellers had temporarily kept the pair in check.

Technical indicators reflect this resurgence. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is rising sharply in positive territory, confirming an increase in buying pressure. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram shows decreasing red bars, hinting that while bullish momentum is strengthening, some consolidation could still take place before another push higher.

Looking ahead, immediate resistance is now located at 1.0520, a level that, if breached, could accelerate gains toward 1.0560. On the downside, support is found at 1.0450, which coincides with the recently broken moving averages. A drop below this level would weaken the bullish outlook and bring 1.0400 into focus.

AUD/USD pulls back from monthly high but holds above 0.7000

AUD/USD retreats from the monthly high set earlier this Thursday, sliding back to 0.7000 during the Asian session as a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East undermines the risk-sensitive Aussie. However, recent hawkish comments from RBA officials could support the Australian Dollar. Furthermore, the prevailing US Dollar selling bias, despite Fed hike bets and geopolitical uncertainties, could limit losses for the pair.

USD/JPY declines to a one-week low; eyes trading range support near 157.50 on weaker USD

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar. Despite bets for a December Fed rate hike and Middle East jitters, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps USD depressed near a three-week low. Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold sinks to over two-month low as higher-for-longer interest rate expectations weigh

Dogecoin stays weak despite whales and new deal

Dogecoin price remains under pressure, trading below $0.081 despite a modest rebound earlier this week. Santiment data shows signs of accumulation, and Wednesday’s announcement of a Dogecoin Labs partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation adds a mildly bullish sentiment. Meanwhile, mixed derivatives metrics and weakening momentum indicators continue to limit the meme coin recovery.

3 Gold forecasts at $4,100: A bullish Arc rejection, a bearish Fed setup and a festival tiebreaker

Gold (XAU/USD) is trading near $4,100, and the three latest analyses cannot agree on what the level means: one sees the bounce from support as confirmation of a potential push toward $4,227, another argues every rally is vulnerable while price sits under its 20-day EMA, and the third points to India's Diwali buying season as the physical test about to meet the market.

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything

Gold (XAU/USD) is struggling to capitalize on a weaker US Dollar (USD), after repeatedly failing to establish itself above the $4,200 level. The precious metal remains confined to a relatively narrow trading range despite a combination of developments that would normally support higher prices.
