The Euro struggled this week and declined below the 1.1400 and 1.1380 support levels against the US Dollar. The EUR/USD pair traded towards the 1.13000 level and later formed a support near 1.1310.

The pair recently corrected higher above the 1.1350 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. However, the upside move was capped by the 1.1380-90 resistance area, which was a support earlier.

The pair is currently trading above the 1.1350 level, the 50 hourly SMA, and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.1392 high to 1.1331 low.

Moreover, there is a major bullish trend line in place with support at 1.1340 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD. Therefore, if the pair dips from the current levels, it could find support near 1.1350 or 1.1340. On the upside, the main resistance is near the 1.1380-90 area.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar.

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000
