The EUR/USD pair extended its rally on Thursday’s session after the European close, pushing toward the 1.1200 area and posting one of its strongest daily gains in recent months. The move, which places the Euro near the upper boundary of its intraday range between 1.09426 and 1.1220, underscores the pair's bullish momentum as it tests fresh 2025 highs.

Technically, the structure remains supported by a solid combination of indicators. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 70.98, a level considered high yet still not in extreme overbought territory. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is flashing a buy signal, pointing to continued upward strength. The Williams Percent Range (−0.50) and Stochastic %K at 68.41 both remain in neutral territory, suggesting there is still room for price extension before a reversal becomes a concern.

Key moving averages reinforce the bullish tone. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.08865, the 100-day at 1.05475, and the 200-day at 1.07399 are all sloped upward and well below current levels, confirming broader trend support. Similarly, the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.09561 and the 10-day SMA at 1.09285 further strengthen the short-term positive bias.

In terms of levels, initial support is found at 1.10309, followed by 1.09606 and the 10-day EMA at 1.09561. With the pair now trading near yearly highs, resistance is less defined, and traders may look for psychological levels or fib projections as the next potential hurdles.

AUD/USD: Next upside target comes at 0.7000

AUD/USD has advanced further, clinching its third consecutive day of gains and trading at shouting distance from the key 0.7000 threshold on Tuesday. The widespread improved sentiment in the risk complex helped the Aussie maintain its upside momentum, while the fresh selling impulse in the Greenback also contributed to the move.

USD/JPY rises back above 158.00 despite hawkish BoJ outlook

USD/JPY rises back above 158.00 in the early European morning on Tuesday. The pair strengthens as the Japanese Yen fails to find any inspiration from hawkish BoJ expectations and looming intervention risks. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty and elevated US bond yields keep the US Dollar near its YTD high despite receding October Fed hike bets. This, in turn, helps the pair stay supported.

Gold stays firm; looks at $4,200

Gold builds on Monday’s marginal bounce, although it struggles to reclaim the key $4,200 mark per troy ounce so far on Tuesday. The yellow metal’s advance comes on the back of the fresh downside momentum in the US Dollar in tandem with retreating US Treasury yields across the curve.

Ethena Price Forecast: ENA corrects as Ether.Fi launches stablecoin on the protocol

Ethena (ENA) trades near $0.24000 on Tuesday amid growing technical weakness. The Ethereum Layer-2 token has shed some of its recent gains, which peaked at $0.2946 on September 27, reinforcing profit-taking and buyer exhaustion. An extended sell-off would bring ENA to test the psychological support at $0.2000 and key technical levels further down.

Japanese Yen nears 158.00: Two analysts agree it's bullish, and disagree on how far the breakout goes

The JPY is drifting near 158.00 against the USD ahead of a busy week of Japanese data and a still-unclear BoJ timetable. The two most recent FXStreet analyses agree on the direction, but they disagree on the target and the mechanism.

Eurozone inflation just hit 3.8%, its highest in three years. This chart shows why the ECB can’t simply hike its way out

The ECB would normally have a relatively straightforward answer to inflation running almost twice its target: raise interest rates. But these are not normal circumstances. This time, the bond market is already doing part of the tightening for it, leaving the ECB facing an increasingly difficult dilemma.
