EUR/USD

4 hour

The EUR/USD made a bullish bounce at the Fibonacci levels of wave 4 vs 3 (blue) and then broke above the resistance trend line (dotted orange) plus previous top (dotted reds). The bullish break confirms the wave 4-5 pattern that has been mentioned here this week and could indicate a potential continuation towards the Fibonacci targets.

The EUR/USD bullish breakout could be developing an impulsive wave 3 pattern (orange).

GBP/USD

The GBP/USD also bounced at the support zone and confluence of multiple trend lines. It then rallied and broke above the resistance trend line (dotted red) of the larger bull flag chart pattern (dotted red). The bullish breakout could see price move towards the Fibonacci targets of wave 5.

1 hour

The GBP/USD made a bullish break above the resistance trend line (dotted red) and is now showing strong momentum. Any corrective pattern could be a pause for more upside.

USD/JPY

4 hour

The USD/JPY indeed made a bullish retracement within the down trend as indicated in yesterday's analysis. This could indicate a continuation towards the round levels of 110.50 and 110.

1 hour

The USD/JPY made another bearish breakout but would need to break below support (green) before a continuation lower is likely.

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.
