EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro holding above 1.1400 ahead of the FOMC

EUR/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart ahead of the FOMC this Thursday at 19.00 GMT.
EUR/USD has been advancing in the last 5 days of trading and has currently found support above 1.1400 and the 50 SMA. The RSI is neutral, the MACD has a bearish crossover and the Stochastic is in negative territories.
In order to reclaim some ground, bulls will need to overcome the 1.1430 resistance. A break of the level can lead to an acceleration to 1.1450 and 1.1470, Asian high (Nov.7). Alternatively, a break below 1.1400 can lead to a drop to 1.1350 and 1.1300 levels.

AUD/USD attracts buyers for the second straight day on Wednesday, rising to a fresh high since September 23 during the Asian session. A hot Australian CPI print reaffirmed bets for an imminent RBA rate hike in November and boosted the Australian Dollar. Meanwhile, the US Dollar pauses after a three-day rally to a near two-week high ahead of the crucial FOMC rate decision, lending additional support to the currency pair.

USD/JPY sticks to modest gains above 157.50 as traders await Fed, BoJ meetings

USD/JPY attracts buyers for the third straight day, recovering further from a one-month low ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC decision and the BoJ policy update on Friday. Meanwhile, expectations that the BoJ may hold off on aggressive rate hikes weigh on the Japanese Yen, and the US Dollar advances to a nearly two-week high, supporting the currency pair.

Gold comes under pressure, still above $4,000 ahead of FOMC

Gold now gives away part of its recent two-day rebound, although a breach below the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce remains elusive for now. Rising crude oil prices keep the precious metal under pressure ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision later on Wednesday.

Zcash's bullish momentum mounts on steady ETF inflows, retail confidence

Zcash extends steady recovery above $1,300 on Wednesday, approaching a key resistance near $1,373. Grayscale’s ZEC-focused Exchange-Traded Fund sees persistent buying pressure, with six straight days of inflows, including more than $3 million on Tuesday.

BoC expected to raise interest rates to 2.50%

The Bank of Canada is expected to raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.50% on Wednesday, as persistent inflation concerns put pressure on policymakers to tighten monetary policy despite growing signs of economic weakness. According to a Reuters poll, 19 of 34 economists anticipate a rate hike, which would mark the central bank's first increase since July 2023.

Anthropic pledged $270 billion to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Here's who actually gets paid

Anthropic owes Amazon, Google, and Microsoft at least $269.4 billion for computing power, even if it uses less. All three sell its models and handle its billing, and Amazon and Google own stakes and lend it money, so they get paid regardless of how the IPO goes. The Dario Amodei-led Anthropic filed its initial public offering (IPO) on Monday, seeking a listing on the Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.
