EUR/USD closed at one point one two zero nine, up zero point three percent on the day; GBP/USD finished at one point three four one two, up zero point one seven percent; USD/JPY ended at one hundred fifty-seven point ninety-four, unchanged, with all three pairs framed by key technical levels 📈💷

GBP/USD stood out for sitting above its two hundred-day average at one point three four, while also remaining above its fifty-day average at one point three three, leaving the recovery intact but still dependent on that reclaimed level.

For EUR/USD, the decisive level is one point one two four, and price is below it at one point one two zero nine. Tuesday’s euro-area flash estimate of inflation for October is the immediate catalyst linked to whether the recent five-session rise can extend beyond the range high.

The unresolved question is whether EUR/USD can break one point one two four, whether cable can keep one point three four from turning back into resistance, and whether USD/JPY can clear one hundred fifty-eight point thirteen after the Bank of Japan minutes, Governor Ueda’s speech and US employment. The Money Mosaic examines which levels held, which ones gave way, and how the week’s catalysts shaped the next move.

The FTSE 100 finished at 10,729.78, above 10,690.36 the Friday before, a gain of 39.42 points or 0.37%. It traded between 10,643.25 and 10,778.72 and ended the week above its 50-day average at 10,704.01 📈

Cable rose 0.12% on the week. That firmer pound matters because it can trim the value of overseas earnings when translated back into sterling, leaving the FTSE’s advance looking resilient but not effortless.

The coming week is led by the Bank of England’s decision and Monetary Policy Report on Thursday, 5 November, plus several UK company updates. Friday, 6 November brings the US Employment Situation report for October, which could shift rates, yields and London sentiment.

What remains unresolved is whether the FTSE can hold above 10,704.01 and turn this week’s modest rise into a cleaner break, or whether Thursday’s Bank of England message and Friday’s US jobs data alter the picture. The Money Mosaic examines whether the FTSE’s range can give way, how sterling may react, and which policy signal matters most.

Euro-dollar closed at 1.1158 after a 0.52% fall, cable finished at 1.3387 after a 0.04% rise, and dollar-yen ended at 157.57 after a 0.49% gain. The week kept euro-dollar inside 1.1105 to 1.1227, cable inside 1.3272 to 1.3434, and dollar-yen inside 156.65 to 158.35. 📉💱

Euro-dollar provided the clearest level check: the 1.1105 floor held, while the pair still sits below the 50-day average at 1.14072 and the 200-day average at 1.15634, leaving the finish nearer the lower edge of the range.

For dollar-yen, the script points to a firmer dollar against the yen, with the move framed as potentially reflecting shifts in rate expectations rather than a decisive new trend. The pair held above 157.47025, but stayed below the 200-day average at 158.5396.

Going into the new week, cable remains unresolved with 1.34 acting as a cap and the pair still boxed inside 1.3272 to 1.3434, while euro-dollar and dollar-yen each keep their key levels in play. The Money Mosaic reviews whether those levels accept price or reject it, whether cable can finally make 1.34 hold, and what remains unresolved in the week ahead.
