AUD/USD four-hour chart

AUD/USD breaks to fresh 5-month highs as the USD selloff remains unabated. The aussie is trading just below the 0.6990 resistance and above its main SMAs while the market capitalizes on the bullish momentum. However, the quote will need a clear break beyond the 0.6990 level for a potential run towards the 0.7183 resistance levels. On the other hand, support can emerge near the 0.6834 and 0.6749 levels.

EUR/USD stays weak above 1.1750 ahead of German/ EU PMI data

EUR/USD remains on the back foot above 1.1850 in the European session on Friday, well within striking distance of a nearly one-month low set the previous day. Unabated US Dollar demand and nervousness ahead of the German and Eurozone business PMI data keep the pair undermined.

GBP/USD is recovering ground above 1.3450 in European trading on Friday, helped by a modest uptick in the Pound Sterling after a bigger-than-expected increase in the UK Retail Sales for January.
