EUR/USD Price Forecast: Faces some resistance near 100-SMA on H4, around 1.1830 zone

  • EUR/USD attracts buyers for the second straight day amid a softer tone surrounding the USD.
  • The intraday move up stalls near a hurdle marked by the 100-period SMA on the 4-hour chart.
  • The broader technical setup seems tilted in favor of bulls and backs the case for further gains.

The EUR/USD pair gains some follow-through positive traction for the second consecutive day and climbs to the 1.1830 region during the Asian session on Thursday. The US Dollar (USD) remains on the back foot amid concerns about the economic fallout from US President Donald Trump's erratic trade policies and acts as a tailwind for spot prices.

From a technical perspective, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 56 indicates improving positive momentum without entering overbought territory, aligning with a recovery phase from earlier sub-30 readings. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line stands marginally above its signal line and slightly in positive territory, with a modest positive histogram that reinforces a gradual shift toward buyer control rather than an impulsive trend.

Meanwhile, the intraday move up stalls near the 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart. This should now act as a key pivotal point for intraday traders, and a convincing breakout through the said resistance would open the way toward 1.1860 and then 1.1900 as the next upside objectives. On the downside, immediate support aligns with 1.1790, guarding the recent higher low structure, followed by 1.1760, where the latest recovery leg started.

A sustained hold above 1.1790 would keep the bullish bias intact, while a drop through 1.1760 would neutralize the current rebound and expose deeper consolidation. Nevertheless, the near-term bias leans mildly bullish, though it will be prudent to wait for a sustained strength above the 100-period SMA on the 4-hour chart before positioning for any further appreciating move.

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. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
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.
