EUR/USD Technical Analysis: EUR peeps above 1.15 after a long-tailed doji candle

  • The EUR/USD created a big long-tailed doji candle yesterday, indicating the sell-off from the Sept. 24 high of 1.1815 has likely run its course.
  • A bullish reversal would be confirmed if the spot closes today above the doji candle's high of 1.1503. At press time, it is trading at 1.1512.
  • The hourly chart is showing that the pair has cleared the descending trendline and is trading above the 50-hour and 100-hour exponential moving averages (MAs). The relative strength index (RSI) of 55 is biased toward the bulls. The 4-hour chart is reporting a bullish divergence of the RSI.
  • The EUR is likely to post a positive follow-through to yesterday's long-legged doji candle, that is, confirm a bullish reversal. The prospects of a bear-to-bull trend change would drop if the Italian bond yields spike in Europe.

AUD/USD keeps range near mid-0.7100s as USD bulls await US CPI

AUD/USD steadies near mid-0.7100s in the Asian session on Friday, stalling the previous day's sharp decline to an over one-week low. The August PPI report reaffirmed Fed rate-hike bets and boosted the US Dollar on Thursday, which weighed heavily on the pair. However, hawkish RBA expectations limited losses for the Aussie as USD bulls now await the release of the US consumer inflation figures before placing fresh bets.

USD/JPY holds lower ground toward 154.00; looks to US CPI

USD/JPY holds lower ground toward 154.00 in the Asian session on Friday after hot Japanese PPI data bolster a more hawkish BoJ repricing and provide fresh impetus to the Japanese Yen. However, the downside appears capped as the US Dollar preserves overnight gains ahead of the latest US consumer inflation data.

Gold moves away from one-week low, climbs above $4,450 as USD edges lower ahead of CPI

Gold builds on its modest intraday recovery from the $4,300 neighborhood, or a one-and-a-half-week low, touched earlier this Friday, and climbs above $4,350 heading into the European session. The upside potential, however, seems limited as traders opt to wait for the release of US consumer inflation figures before placing directional bets.

Cardano approaches critical support as correction risks grow
Cardano (ADA) recovers slightly, trading at $0.206 at the time of writing on Friday, inches above the critical support zone after losing more than 6% so far this week. Weakening derivatives data and fading bullish momentum suggest a bearish near-term outlook, with a decisive close below the support zone potentially triggering a deeper correction for ADA.
