Current market quotes

Short outlook by currency pair

XAUUSD

Technically, XAUUSD stays above a key support zone of $4,180, which keeps a bullish bias intact. The pair carries a “buy-the-dip / risk off” stance, especially with the rate-cut expectations. Its weekly gain was 1.82%.

EURUSD

EURUSD seems to have a moderate upward bias while the dollar weakens. Actually, it can reach the 1.1700 level next week, should the Fed move dovish. Otherwise, that resistance and caution would remain if the regulator disappoints the market. The pair’s weekly performance stays at 0.56%

USDJPY

USDJPY doesn’t move much, anticipating the BoJ’s final monetary policy solution upon tightening the national currency. However, its overall P&L is -0.73%.

BTCUSD

Bitcoin closes the week with a positive 5.74% surplus. The pair stays in a wait-and-see mode, but most crypto traders weigh optimism around the Fed rate cut, supporting riskier assets further.

Market sentiment

The dominant narrative stands for the Fed’s dovish cut next week. This move or “cut-and-hold” will likely push USD lower, outshining gold, the euro, and crypto. On the flip side, if the Fed signals something else, gold might dip, the euro will retreat, and the greenback will rebound.
