AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Short-term falling wedge keep buyers hopeful

AUD/USD remains on the back foot around the multi-week low.
Buyers look for confirmation of one-month-old bullish chart formation.
Pattern’s support line could restrict near-term declines.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

AUD/USD stays under pressure while taking rounds to 0.6765, close to the six week low, during the Asian session on Friday.

Despite trading near the multi-week low, the pair is forming a bullish chart pattern that gets confirmed on the break of 0.6775 resistance. In doing so, the quote is theoretically expected to rush towards 0.6900 mark. However, November 19 top near 0.6830 and October 21 high close to 0.6880 can offer intermediate halts to the quote.

On the downside, 0.6750 can offer an immediate rest ahead of the bullish formation’s support, at 0.6740.

During the pair’s extended south-run below 0.6720, mid-October lows around 0.6720, followed by 0.6700 mark, will please the bears.

EUR/USD struggles near 1.1850, with all eyes on US CPI data

EUR/USD holds losses while keeping its range near 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with a steady US Dollar undermines the pair ahead of the critical US CPI data. Meanwhile, the Eurozone Q4 GDP second estimate has little to no impact on the Euro.

GBP/USD recovers above 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold remains below $5,000 as US inflation report looms

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains in 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.

US CPI data set to show modest inflation cooling as markets price in a more hawkish Fed

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
