EURUSD Technical Analysis

The Euro after trading as low as 1.0570 against the US Dollar found support, and started a recovery. The EURUSD is correcting higher, but faces a major resistance near 1.0675 and 1.0690.

The pair recently traded near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.0906 high to 1.0570 low. However, it faces a major hurdle near 1.0675, as the 200 simple moving average (H4) is positioned.

Moreover, there is a contracting triangle pattern with resistance near 1.0670 on the 4-hours chart. Furthermore, the 100 simple moving average (H4) is waiting on the upside at 1.0690 to act as a resistance. On the downside, the 1.0610 is triangle support.

Overall, it looks like the pair may trade in a range before attempting an upside break above 1.0690.

EUR/USD faces next resistance near 1.1930

EUR/USD continues to build on its recovery in the latter part of Wednesday’s session, with upside momentum accelerating as the pair retargets the key 1.1900 barrier amid a further loss of traction in the US Dollar. Attention now shifts squarely to the US data docket, with labour market figures and the always influential CPI releases due on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
