The AUD/JPY pair edged higher during Monday’s session ahead of the Asian open, extending a modest rebound that left it trading around the 90.50 area. While price action climbed within the upper part of the day’s range between 89.571 and 90.832, technical indicators continue to reflect a bearish broader picture.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) prints a neutral 42.576, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) maintains a sell signal. The Stochastic RSI Fast stands at 58.383, and Bull Bear Power at −1.887, both indicating a neutral stance with limited bullish conviction.

Adding weight to the downside risks, all key simple moving averages are aligned to the bearish side: the 20-day at 92.533, the 100-day at 95.758, and the 200-day at 97.813. Shorter-term averages, including the 10-day exponential and simple moving averages at 90.777 and 90.650, respectively, also point downward, reinforcing the lack of sustained bullish momentum.

From a technical level perspective, immediate support is seen at 90.226, followed by stronger footing near the 89.80 area. On the upside, resistance is stacked around 90.65, with further barriers at 90.777 and 90.899 if buyers push for a more convincing recovery.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar. In the meantime, US inflation figures showed the headline CPI rose less than expected in January, removing some tailwinds from the Greenback’s momentum.

GBP/USD clings to gains above 1.3600

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January. Earlier in the day, the BoE’s Pill suggested that UK inflation could settle around 2.5%, above the bank’s goal.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked retracement, as bargain-hunters seem to have stepped in. The precious metal’s upside, however, appears limited amid the slightly better tone in the US Dollar after US inflation data saw the CPI rise less than estimated at the beginning of the year.
