Short outlook by currency pair

XAUUSD

Gold investors seemed to buy the dips at $4,170, giving the metal a 0.7% intraday upside. The US Private Payrolls (ADP) data showed weak results, resulting in the US dollar hitting a five-week low. XAUUSD benefitted, passing the $4,200 resistance and aiming at $4,260.

EURUSD

The euro climbed towards 1.16700, reaching its strongest level since mid-October. The support came after the newly released Eurozone composite PMI data had exceeded expectations. Besides, the inflation remains near its target level. Given this combination, the outlook for the ECB holding interest rates steady throughout 2026 pushes EURUSD higher.

USDJPY

USDJPY slid 0.3% due to the recent dollar’s weakness. The pair trades at 155.330. Meanwhile, yesterday, the BoJ Governor provided the strongest signal of a rate hike later this month. The "dangerous" intervention zone for the yen stays near the 160.00 level: When the trend gets more USD-positive, an elevated volatility could be seen around.

BTCUSD

Bitcoin rebounded, and it seems to be linked with the broader market’s stabilization along with the renewed risk appetite. On the other hand, any fresh risk-off shift could hit crypto sharply.

Market sentiment

The common theme shows higher sensitivity to macro signals. Investors seem to be weighing the potential relief from softening growth, but are equally aware of volatility risks if surprises come.
