EUR/USD risks falling to support of the trendline rising from Oct. 1 and Nov. 29 lows.

The pair carved out an inverted bearish hammer on Tuesday, as it faced rejection at 1.1118 and ended on a negative note.

That candle has reinforced the bearish view put forward by the lower highs setup created over the last two weeks. Also, the pair closed below 1.1085 (Jan. 10 low) on Tuesday, establishing a lower low.

The pair, therefore, looks set to test the rising trendline support at 1.1067. A violation there would expose 1.1040 (Dec. 6 low).

On the higher side, a close above the Jan. 16 high of 1.1173 is needed to invalidate the lower highs set up and confirm a bullish reversal.

AUD/USD bounces off multi-month low; bulls seem hesitant above mid-0.6800s

AUD/USD edges higher during the Asian session on Wednesday, recovering some of the previous day’s losses to its lowest level since March as the US Dollar stalls the hot US CPI-inspired rally amid hopes of a US-Iran peace deal. Meanwhile, hawkish comments from FOMC members have raised odds for a 50 bps rate hike in December, which favors USD bulls and should cap the Aussie amid expectations of a cautious, on-hold RBA stance.

USD/JPY remains capped below 159.00 amid looming intervention risks

USD/JPY struggles to build on the previous day’s strong gains to a near one-month top as intervention risk supports the Japanese Yen while hopes of a US-Iran peace deal cap the safe-haven US Dollar. Meanwhile, traders have started pricing in the probability of a 50 bps Fed rate hike in December in reaction to Tuesday’s hot US CPI report and hawkish comments from FOMC members. This favors USD bulls and should limit the downside for the currency pair.

Gold seems vulnerable below $4,050 as hawkish Fed bets favor USD bulls

Gold steadies following the overnight decline, trading near $4,035-$4,040 during the Asian session on Wednesday as US-Iran peace deal hopes cap the post-US CPI US Dollar rally. Meanwhile, the possibility of a jumbo 50 bps Fed rate hike in December could limit the downside for the USD and cap the non-yielding bullion, warranting caution for bullish traders.

Bitcoin, crypto market fall as hot US inflation triggers $700 million in liquidations

Bitcoin declines toward $73,000 on Tuesday following October's hotter-than-expected US Consumer Price Index report, which triggered renewed concerns about the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.

Gold reclaimed $4,100. Tuesday’s CPI test decides if it holds

Gold (XAU/USD) starts the week on a positive note, reclaiming the $4,100 psychological level as the US Dollar (USD) retreats from its recent highs. The precious metal recovers from Friday's losses, although investors remain cautious ahead of Tuesday's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which could determine the next direction for Bullion.
