GBP/USD Consolidating But Pay Attention To POC Zone

Nenad Kerkez Top-XE

The GBP/USD is consolidating within the rectangle pattern. The consolidation is due to the US CPI data at 12:30 GMT. Traders need to pay attention to 1.2992 the X-cross of a trend line and D H3 camarilla pivot. Move above the trend line could possible spike the GBP/USD to POC zone 1.3040-60 (D H5, Rectangle top, ATR projection high, 50.0 fib, Order block) where we might see fresh sellers. The price should reject towards 1.2992 and 1.2940. Only below 1.2940 we should see the continuation towards D H5/ATR low 1.2910.

EUR/USD remains bid, focus stays on 1.1900

EUR/USD has broken its two-day run of losses and is ticking modestly higher on Thursday, hovering around the 1.1880 area as the US Dollar struggles to find clear direction. Weekly Initial Jobless Claims rose more than expected, taking a bit of shine off the Greenback, but markets are largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of Friday’s US CPI release.

GBP/USD sticks to the bid bias, still below 1.3700

GBP/USD is trading with decent gains around 1.3650 on Thursday. Indeed, Cable is attempting to shake off the weakness seen earlier in the week amid another choppy session for the Greenback, while a run of disappointing UK data has so far failed to derail the pair’s tentative recovery.

Gold recedes slightly, trades below $5,100

Gold remains stuck in choppy trade on Thursday, deflating marginally just below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce as the US Dollar drifts without a clear trend. Softer US Treasury yields across the curve are offering some support, but with markets treading carefully ahead of Friday’s US CPI release, conviction remains limited and price action continues to look hesitant.
