• GBP/USD

  Uptrend, momentum flattening at highs · last read 20:47 UTC at 1.33947

  Cable rallied through the NY session off the 12:15 UTC low at 1.3335, clearing the London prior high at 1.3376 as dollar longs were pared into the weekend.

• USD/JPY

  Pullback from session high, now basing · last read 20:47 UTC at 156.863

  Friday's Asia-session BoJ 'dovish hike' spike to 158.05 was fully faded through NY, with a sharp mid-NY slide breaking down to 156.60.

• USD/CHF

  Downtrend, momentum stalled into the close · last read 20:47 UTC at 0.82202

  NY session sold the 0.82598 high in three steps of lower highs, bottoming at 0.82159 as post-Fed dollar longs were trimmed and US yields eased.

  Downtrend into the close, momentum extended · last read 20:46 UTC at 1.39841

  NY session pushed above the 1.4000 psych level to a 1.40140 session high, then gave it all back — a chain of lower highs capped at 1.39914 has dragged price to a session low of 1.39832 on very thin late-Friday volume.

• AUD/USD

  Sideways, momentum flat into week close · last read 20:47 UTC at 0.71251

  Price slid through London from the 0.71358 day high to a 0.71034 session low, then reclaimed most of it during NY hours and has since gone flat between 0.71220 and 0.71273 on sub-3-pip ATR.

• NZD/USD

  Intraday downtrend paused, now sideways · last read 20:47 UTC at 0.57239

  Intraday uptrend stalled, momentum faded · last read 20:47 UTC at 4,380.03

  Gold's NY leg up from 4342.73 stalled at 4396.98, a second failure under the 4400 area after the 4399.53 print earlier, and price has since drifted into a 4374.9-4383.4 range with volume thinning into the Friday close.

• XAG/USD

  Pullback within intraday uptrend, momentum fading · last read 20:47 UTC at 66.317

  Silver squeezed to a 67.32 session high during the London-NY overlap — the oil-led yield retreat flagged in the digest — then bled back through the 67.00 shelf, printing a chain of lower highs (67.32, 67.17, 66.85) into the late NY hours.

• BTC/USD

  Uptrend, momentum cooling after vertical NY leg · last read 20:48 UTC at 81,048.74

  The NY open triggered a vertical expansion from 78019 to 81241, roughly +4% in under three hours, with no scheduled US release inside the window — the digest frames post-FOMC strength as relief rather than trend.
