EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The EUR/GBP daily chart portrays the pair as neutral to downward biased, with the EUR/GBP standing below the 50 and 200-day Moving Averages (DMAs). It should be noted the cross printed a new year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8492, but buyers moved in and reclaimed the 0.8500 figure, spurring a recovery toward the 0.8540 area.
From an intraday perspective, the EUR/GBP hourly chart is neutral-biased, but it could turn upwards if it achieves a daily close above the August 22 daily high of 0.8545. Once done, the EUR/GBP could test the 200-hour Moving Average (HMA) at 0.8561, followed by the current week’s high of 0.8565. A breach of the latter could test the 0.8600 level.
Otherwise, if EUR/GBP registers a daily close below 0.8545, sellers could eye a test of the 0.8500 mark. Further downside is expected below that level.

AUD/USD traders seem non-committed around 0.6500 amid mixed cues
AUD/USD extends its consolidative price move just above 0.6500 on Friday. The RBA's hawkish and upbeat market mood supports the Aussie, though mixed Australian PMI prints fail to inspire bulls. Moreover, bets for a slower Fed rate-cut path continue to fuel the post-US election USD rally and cap the currency pair.
USD/JPY slides to 154.00 as higher Japanese CPI fuels BoJ rate-hike bets
USD/JPY languishes near 154.00 following the release of a slightly higher-than-expected Japan CPI print, which keeps the door open for more rate hikes by the BoJ. That said, the risk-on mood, along with elevated US bond yields, could act as a headwind for the lower-yielding JPY and limit losses for the pair amid a bullish USD, bolstered by expectations for a less dovish Fed and concerns that Trump's policies could reignite inflation.
Gold price advances to near two-week top on geopolitical risks
Gold price touched nearly a two-week high during the Asian session as the worsening Russia-Ukraine conflict benefited traditional safe-haven assets. The weekly uptrend seems unaffected by bets for less aggressive Fed policy easing, sustained USD buying and the prevalent risk-on environment
