EUR/USD hovers below the psychological resistance at 1.1000 level during the Asian session on Friday after pulling back from the three-week high at 1.1012. The EUR/USD pair received upward support from a less dovish tone surrounding the European Central Bank (ECB), as compared to the elevated speculation of the Federal Reserve (Fed) to ease monetary policy in the first quarter of 2024.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates an overall positive momentum, as the MACD line is positioned above the centerline and the signal line.

This bullish sentiment of the EUR/USD pair’s bulls could surpass the psychological resistance to approach the two-month high at 1.1017. The next barrier would be the significant level at 1.1050.

Moreover, the lagging indicator 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) moves above the 50 mark, suggesting a confirmation regarding the potential upward trend in the EUR/USD pair.

On the flip side, the EUR/USD pair could find support at the major level at 1.0950 followed by the seven-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0938.

A break below the latter could push the pair to test the psychological support region around 1.0900, further navigating the region around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.0884.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Gold has given up some ground after an initial bullish attempt to reach weekly highs, returning to below the $4,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?

The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is

EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
