Short outlook by currency pair

XAUUSD

XAUUSD is calm, but holding potential. The main driver remains the upcoming Federal Reserve decision, which the market has almost priced in as a 25 bps cut. However, the uncertainty around the Fed’s tone keeps traders cautious. If the Fed delivers a dovish signal, gold could push forward $4,260. Conversely, a more hawkish tone could trigger a dip towards $4,160.

EURUSD

EURUSD is holding near 1.16300. The key support zone lies at 1.1600, and resistance sits near 1.16800. A dovish tone could send the pair toward 1.1700+, whilst a stronger dollar could pull it back to support.

USDJPY

USDJPY ticks up, surpassing the 156.500 resistance. Higher yields or a more hawkish tone would support the pair, while a softer Fed could strengthen the yen. Technically, both directions remain open depending on tomorrow’s message.

BTCUSD

Bitcoin is paused, and the crypto market generally looks restrained after some strong weeks’ performances. With no clear direction yet, investors are mostly holding off, BTCUSD now trading within $89,500–$91,000 range.

Market sentiment

The market overall is cautious - lots of traders prefer to wait for the Fed's decision and, more importantly, the tone of the statement rather than take risks ahead of the major event.
