EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Advances for the fifth day, secure 0.8700 as solid support

EUR/GBP maintains its upward momentum, trading at 0.8731, as it solidifies the 0.8700 level as a crucial support.
The pair shows a bullish bias, but a failure to surpass the 0.8755 high could invite bearish activity.
Key levels to watch include resistance at 0.8800 and 0.8834, with support at the 200-DMA of 0.8688 and the 50-DMA at 0.8657.

EUR/GBP climbed during Friday’s session, extending its rally to five consecutive days, gaining so far 0.89% in the week, cementing the 0.8700 psychological level as solid support for the next week. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trades at 0.8731, up a decent 0.13%.

The EUR/GBP pair is bullish biased but downside risks remain. Unless buyers reclaim today’s high at 0.8755, bears are lurking. In the event of a bullish resumption, the cross’s first resistance would be the 0.8800 mark, followed by the May 3 high at 0.8834, followed by April’s 25 high at 0.8875.

Conversely, if EUR/GBP drops below 0.8700, the first support would be the 200-day moving average (DMA) previously broken at 0.8688 followed by the 50-DMA at 0.8657, before diving to the latest cycle low of 0.8649.

EUR/USD accelerates losses, focus is on 1.1800

EUR/USD’s selling pressure is gathering pace now, opening the door to a potential test of the key 1.1800 region sooner rather than later. The pair’s pullback comes on the back of marked gains in the US Dollar following US data releases and the publication of the FOMC Minutes later in the day.

GBP/USD turns negative near 1.3540

GBP/USD reverses its initial upside momentum and is now adding to previous declines, revisiting at the same time the 1.3540 region on Wednesday. Cable’s downtick comes on the back of decent gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold picks pace, flirts with $5,000

Gold is back on the front foot on Wednesday, shaking off part of the early week softness and pushing higher towards the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce. The move comes ahead of the FOMC Minutes and is unfolding despite an intense rebound in the US Dollar.

Fed Minutes to shed light on January hold decision amid hawkish rate outlook

The Minutes of the Fed’s January 27-28 monetary policy meeting will be published today. Details of discussions on the decision to leave the policy rate unchanged will be scrutinized by investors.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Sui extends sideways action ahead of Grayscale’s GSUI ETF launch

Sui is extending its downtrend for the second consecutive day, trading at 0.95 at the time of writing on Wednesday. The Layer-1 token is down over 16% in February and approximately 34% from the start of the year, aligning with the overall bearish sentiment across the crypto market.
