The EUR/USD pair trades in negative territory for the fifth consecutive day during the early European session on Tuesday. Investors await the Spanish, German, French, and Eurozone HCOB PMI data due later on Tuesday. The major pair currently trades near 1.0834, unchanged for the day.

From a technical perspective, EUR/USD maintains a bearish outlook as the major pair holds below the key 100-hour Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the four-hour chart. The downward momentum is supported by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) which stands below the 50.0 midline, indicating that the path of least resistance is to the downside.

The 100-hour EMA at 1.0867 acts as an immediate resistance level for EUR/USD. The next upside barrier to watch is the 1.0895-1.0900 zone, portraying the confluence of the 50-hour EMA and a psychological figure. Further north, the next hurdle is seen near the upper boundary of the Bollinger Bang at 1.0942.

On the other hand, the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 1.0806 will be the initial support level. The additional downside filter to watch is a high of November 6 at 1.0755, followed by a low of November 9 at 1.0660.

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.

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.
