EUR/USD technical analysis

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair tested the 1.0665 zone. It settled below the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour) and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). A low was formed at 1.0667 and the pair is now consolidating losses.

It seems to be finding bids near the 1.0675 level. It is trading close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.0852 swing high to the 1.0667 low.

The first major resistance is near the 1.0730 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at 1.0760. A clear move above the 1.0760 resistance might send it toward the 1.0800 level. Any more gains might call for a move toward the 1.0850 level in the near term.

If not, the pair might dip again. Immediate support is near the 1.0680 level. The next major support is near the 1.0665 zone. A downside break and close below the 1.0665 support zone could open the doors for a larger decline. In the stated case, the pair could decline toward the 1.0620 level.

EUR/USD makes a U-turn, focus on 1.1900

EUR/USD’s recovery picks up further pace, prompting the pair to retarget the key 1.1900 barrier amid further loss of momentum in the US Dollar on Wednesday.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
