EUR/USD: Euros are becoming really overextended on the topside

EUR/USD 

Euros are becoming really overextended on the topside now....so we need to be careful....Our yearly high so far has been 10829....but if we go back to Dec last year it was 10873...So even if we push through the yearly high we still have this 10873 area that we really have to push through.....given we are very much overbought on the daily charts I am just not sure that we can actually break this latter barrier...weekly ones still point higher.....and monthly ones are just slightly off oversold levels...so quite bullish but you might see a pullback first as the 60 min and the dailies are at extreme overbought levels....we are not seeing this on the 4 hrly charts....these are bullish off 60%....

Its all about levels this week...oh and that we might well have a small H&S topping pattern forming on the 4hrly charts..1.07 would be the break point....If we break this then we could be looking once more at the 10620/10580 significant support looking to entice once more...

It really is a crucial time for the Euro....and sadly you will want to keep your eyes on the Dax as well...So although there has been this sense of Euphoria since we held the 10620 support.. we have only been to 10783 ish....so it hasn't really made a massive gain....and the gain was on the US rate hike....so just be careful with the charts currently being overbought...short and medium term...

Now to take pressure off the downside we need to clear 10873....so a break of 10885 sustained would keep a bullish stance on the Euro and we should then be able to push higher to excellent resistance at 11035....Hand on heart is this likely under current market conditions.... Id have to say no....but after a correction this could be a feasible outlook over the coming weeks...

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s  irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest 

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
