Aussie Dollar fatigue? Technical signs hint at an AUD/USD pullback

Technical analysis suggests AUD/USD is facing fatigue after a 500-pip rally, pointing to a potential pullback with key support levels to watch. Fundamentally, central bank divergence (RBA hikes vs. potential Fed cuts) supports the long-term Aussie dollar gain. OANDA client sentiment is net-short, which may signal a short-term rise. Upcoming RBA/Fed minutes and data releases are expected to bring volatility.

Bitcoin, Interest Rates, and Trump: A Crypto Market Review 2024-2025

Is $60,000 Bitcoin’s tripwire that could unleash a cascade of selloffs?

Bitcoin’s $60,000 level has become a critical front line for the market. A sustained break below it could amplify volatility as heavy put positioning on Deribit, dealer hedging flows, BTC-backed loan liquidations, and leveraged forced selling potentially combine into a cascading move. With the 200-week moving average near $58,000 and growing focus on downside scenarios, traders are watching whether support can hold—or whether a deeper slide could follow.

US inflation slows, Fed may cut rates more than the market prices in

US inflation continued to ease in January, with both headline and core readings showing gradual moderation. Tariff effects remain limited and rent pressures have slowed. The Fed is likely to stay on hold in the near term, but markets expect rate cuts from mid year, pricing in close to two and a half reductions by year end.

EUR/USD bearish move below parity on hold for now

EUR/USD's Next Move: Hot inflation to 1.1785 or cooling jobs to 1.2000?

EUR/USD is tightly coiled ahead of the crucial U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, which was delayed this month. The pair's fate hangs on two factors: Inflation Realities and Labor Market Strength. A "hot" CPI print is expected to reinforce the Fed's hawkish pause, potentially driving EUR/USD down to the 1.1785 support. Conversely, further signs of a cooling U.S. labor market, like rising jobless claims, could weaken the Dollar and allow the Euro to retest the 1.2000 psychological barrier.

The Dow Jones retreated to its 20-day moving average after hitting fresh record highs, as technology stocks dragged US indices lower. Key support sits at 49,265, while a break above 49,940 could revive bullish momentum and open the door to a retest of all-time highs. Failure to hold support risks a deeper pullback toward the 50-day moving average zone.

Chart alert: Gold rally faces risk of exhaustion below $5,170

Gold’s 15% rebound from $4,405 is losing steam as prices stall below key $5,170 resistance. The usual inverse correlation with the US dollar has weakened, while the Shanghai gold premium has flipped into discount, signalling softer physical demand. Bearish RSI divergence raises the risk of a pullback toward $4,795–$4,703 unless bulls reclaim momentum above $5,170.
