Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD fades the initial test of the 1.0860 region and returns to the negative territory on Friday.

Extra range bound mood looks likely for the time being, while the surpass of the so far YTD top at 1.0887 (January 18) should rapidly allow a move to the round level at 1.0900.

While above the short-term support line near 1.0620, extra gains should remain in store for the pair.

In the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA at 1.0307.

AUD/USD retains its negative bias for the third straight day, defending 0.7100 while trading close to a monthly low in Wednesday's Asian session on Wednesday.

Spot prices, however, remain below the mid-155.00s as bulls seem hesitant ahead of the Fed decision later today and the BoJ meeting, starting on Thursday.

Ethereum buyers have been dominating sellers over the past few days.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
