EUR/USD Technical Analysis

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the pair broke a couple of important resistances near the 1.1000 level and even settled above the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours).

It opened the doors for more gains above the 1.1020 resistance and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours). The pair even broke the 1.1050 resistance and traded as high as 1.1062.

Recently, the pair started a downside correction and traded below 1.1040. It corrected below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0948 low to 1.1062 high. However, there are many key supports near the 1.1000 level (the previous resistance).

Moreover, there is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near 1.1000 on the same chart. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0948 low to 1.1062 high is also near the 1.1000 area.

Therefore, if there is a downside correction towards 1.1000, the pair is likely to find a strong buying interest. On the upside, there are hurdles near the 1.1060 and 1.1075 levels, above which EUR/USD could rise towards the 1.1100 level.

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

EUR/USD remains in the negative territory for the fourth successive session, trading around 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with modest US Dollar demand undermines the pair ahead of the Eurozone GDP second estimate and the critical US CPI data.

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

GBP/USD holds moderate losses at around 1.3600 in the European session on Friday, though it lacks bearish conviction. The US Dollar remains supported amid softer risk tone and ahead of the US consumer inflation figures due later in the NA session on Friday.

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.
