EURUSD

The Euro surged in Asia and hit new 2 ½ high at 1.1294, boosted by news about increased demand for the currency on Japanese bank plans for multi-billion purchase business from a German bank.
Fresh advance probes above converging 20/30SMA’s (1.1273/78) and through strong Fibo barrier at 1.1284 (38.2% of 1.1448/1.1183 / 10WMA) which capped multiple attacks in past few sessions.
Improved sentiment could help bulls along with rising momentum, but close above these barriers is needed to confirm bullish signal and open way towards next key barrier at 1.1216 (daily cloud base / 50% retracement / daily Kijun-sen).
The pair is on track for bullish weekly close that would also complete reversal pattern on weekly chart and signal further recovery.
Caution on repeated failure at 1.1284 that would signal extended sideways mode and make the downside more vulnerable.
Rising 10SMA (1.1241) underpins the action and marks pivotal support, loss of which will be bearish.

GBP/USD appears bid around 1.3370

GBP/USD reverses part of its recent multi-day decline, gathering some balance and managing to reach the 1.3400 region, where some initial resistance seems to have turned up. Cable’s uptick comes in response to some loss of momentum in the Greenback despite the geopolitical scenario remaining fragile.

Gold recovers modestly despite intensifying Middle East crisis

Gold keeps its daily gains well in place, although a break above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce still remains elusive on Wednesday. The yellow metal’s rebound comes in response to the persistent flight-to-safety amid intense geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the bearish performance of the US Dollar.
