EUR/USD Price Forecast: Edges above 1.1600 near six-week lows

  • EUR/USD rebounded from the six-week low at 1.1589.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index, at 35, signals neutral-to-bearish conditions with momentum tilted to the downside.
  • The initial resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA of 1.1648.

EUR/USD holds ground after three days of losses, trading around 1.1610 during the Asian hours on Friday. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator, currently at 35 (neutral-bearish), shows momentum skewed to the downside.

The technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the EUR/USD pair holds below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA, underscoring a bearish bias. The short-term average slopes lower beneath the medium-term gauge, capping rebounds.

The bias remains bearish while the EUR/USD pair stays below the short-term average, with downside risks focused on support near the six-week low at 1.1589, set on December 1. A sustained break below this level would open the door to the next support around 1.1468, the lowest since August 2025.

On the upside, the EUR/USD pair could target the initial resistance at the nine-and 50-day EMAs of 1.1648 and at 1.1673, respectively. Recovery through short- and medium-term averages would ease pressure and allow a test of the three-month high of 1.1808, which was recorded on December 24, followed by the 1.1918, the highest level since June 2021.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
