AUD/USD technical analysis: Goodish intraday recovery pauses near 200-hour SMA

The AUD/USD pair held on to its goodish intraday recovery gains, albeit seemed struggling to extend the momentum further beyond 200-hour SMA.
Positive trade-related headlines turned out to be a key factor behind the short-covering bounce while a goodish pickup in the USD demand capped gains.

Given that technical indicators have just started gaining positive traction, a sustained move beyond the mentioned barrier now seems to set the stage for a bullish move towards reclaiming the 0.6800 round figure mark.

However, bearish oscillators on the daily chart held investors from placing aggressive bets and kept a lid on any further appreciating move, though the downside now seems limited amid improving global risk sentiment.

Hence, any dips back below the 0.6750-45 horizontal support might now be seen as a buying opportunity and help limit any meaningful downfall ahead of RBA Deputy Governor Guy Debelle’s speech on Tuesday.

On the upside, the 0.6800 handle remains a key barrier, which if cleared will be seen as a key trigger for bulls and accelerate the up-move towards an intermediate resistance near mid-0.6800s en-route the 0.6900 handle.

EUR/USD shifts its attention to 1.1900 and above

EUR/USD has shaken off Tuesday’s dip, pushing back beyond the 1.1800 mark amid decent gains as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The rebound is largely driven by a modest pullback in the US Dollar, as markets digest the aftermath of President Trump’s SOTU speech and continue to monitor trade-related headlines and signals from the White House.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold remains bid and close to $5,200
