EUR/USD

EURUSD edges lower on Wednesday after repeated failure to break 1.1200 barrier, but near-term action can be described as consolidation, as long as the price stays above first pivots at 1.1124/14 (trendline support/rising 10DMA) and 1.1100 (higher base/Fibo 23.6% of 1.0777/1.1201).

Negative signals are developing on daily chart (14-d momentum diverged from the price and heading south/RSI emerged from overbought territory) but still need confirmation.

Initial negative signals can be also seen on weekly chart (EURUSD is on track for weekly close in red after two long bullish weekly candlesticks/overbought conditions), but conflicting with firm bullish structure on monthly chart, as technical studies are in predominantly bullish setup and the pair is on track for the biggest monthly gain since November 2022.

Look for firmer direction signals on violation of either pivot (1.1100/1.1200).

Res: 1.1157; 1.1185; 1.1201; 1.1239.
Sup: 1.1124; 1.1114; 1.1100; 1.1039.

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1850 ahead of EU/ US data

GBP/USD keeps losses around 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold trims intraday gains to $5,000 as US inflation data loom

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains heading into the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. 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.
