EUR/USD Analysis: Needs to gain bullish momentum

Dukascopy Bank Team Dukascopy Bank SA

EUR/USD remained trading between the weekly S1 and S2 on Wednesday. It reversed near the 1.1760 mark mid-session and edged higher just to breach the prevailing junior channel and approach the 55-hour SMA near 1.1850.

It is expected that the pair tries to maintain its upward movement during most of the day. However, it does face two strong resistance clusters that could hinder or event halt the Euro's further advance, namely, the weekly S1 and the 55-hour SMA or the 100– and 200-hour SMAs at 1.1850 and 1.1900, respectively. It is unlikely that the latter is breached today, thus setting this level as the daily high.

On the other hand, technical indicators flash bearish signals. In the worst-case scenario, the Euro could fall down to its 2018 low of 1.1720 but it should nevertheless remain above it.

EUR/USD turns negative near 1.1850

EUR/USD has given up its earlier intraday gains on Thursday and is now struggling to hold above the 1.1850 area. The US Dollar is finding renewed support from a pick-up in risk aversion, while fresh market chatter suggesting Russia could be considering a return to the US Dollar system is also lending the Greenback an extra boost.

GBP/USD change course, nears 1.3600

GBP/USD gives away its daily gains and recedes toward the low-1.3600s on Thursday. Indeed, Cable now struggles to regain some upside traction on the back of the sudden bout of buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, investors continue to assess a string of underwhelming UK data releases released earlier in the day.
