EUR/USD technical analysis

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair settled above 1.1800, the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour), and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour). The bulls even pumped the pair above 1.1850.

The current price action suggests that the bulls could aim for more gains. Immediate resistance sits near 1.1900. A close above 1.1900 could open the doors for a move toward 1.1920. Any more gains could set the pace for a steady increase toward 1.1950.

If there is no move above 1.1900, there could be a pullback. On the downside, immediate support is near the 1.1850 level. The first major area for the bulls might be near 1.1800.

The main support sits at 1.1755, below which the pair could accelerate lower. The next support could be 1.1700 and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). Any more losses might call for a test of the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour) at 1.1680.

The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
