EUR/USD Price Analysis: Corrective pullback prints falling wedge below 1.1900

EUR/USD bounces off early April lows, refreshes intraday high of late.
RSI recovery from oversold area backs bullish chart pattern’s confirmation.
Previous support line, 200-HMA adds to the upside filters.

EUR/USD extends late Friday’s recovery towards 1.1900, up 0.10% around 1.1875, during Monday Asian session. In doing so, the currency major portrays a bullish chart pattern, falling wedge, near the lowest levels since April 08.

Given the RSI’s U-turn from oversold territory gaining support from the strong Momentum line, EUR/USD may extend the corrective pullback towards the 1.1900 threshold. However, the stated formation’s resistance line near 1.1885 becomes an immediate hurdle to cross.

Although falling wedge breakout gains momentum near the multi-day low, if broken, a descending resistance line from June 11 near 1.1960 could probe the bulls holding the theoretical target over the 1.2000 psychological magnet. It’s worth noting that the EUR/USD buyers will remain cautious unless witnessing a clear break of the 200-HMA level around 1.2085.

Alternatively, the recent low near 1.1850 and the stated pattern’s support line close to 1.1825 could test the pair sellers during the fresh downside.

In a case where EUR/USD bears keep the reins below 1.1825, the 1.1800 round figure and the yearly bottom near 1.1705 will be on their radars.

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.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold tumbles as blockbuster US NFP lift US Dollar, Treasury yields

Gold (XAU/USD) falls sharply on Friday, snapping a two-day recovery after the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report surprised strongly to the upside. The metal briefly climbed above $4,500 on Thursday, gaining nearly 2%, but has since erased a large part of that advance.

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

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
