EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Advances for three days, reclaims 0.8820s

EUR/GBP finds acceptance above the 20/50-day EMAs and 0.8800.
The January 13 daily high at 0.8897 will be the bull’s next target if the EUR/GBP achieves a daily close above 0.8800.

The EUR/GBP hit a five-day new high at 0.8846, as positive Eurozone data outweighed bad UK PMIs, which reignited recessionary fears amongst Britons. Therefore, the EUR/GBP exchanges hands at 0.8823, above its opening price by more than 0.50%.

EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Technical outlook

After bottoming around 0.8721 last Thursday, the EUR/GBP achieved three straight days finishing with gains. In addition, the EUR/GBP climbed above the 50 and 20-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), each at 0.8755 and 0.8792, respectively, opening the door for further upside.

Looking ahead, the EUR/GBP might hold its reins above 0.8800. Once achieved, the EUR/GBP might challenge the January 13 daily high of 0.8897, ahead of the 0.8900 mark. A breach of the latter will send the pair rallying to the September 28 swing high of 0.9066.

As an alternate scenario, the EUR/GBP first support would be the 0.8800 figure. Once broken, the 20-day EMA at 0.8792 would be tested and might allow a bearish continuation towards the 50-day EMA at 0.8755, ahead of a one-month-old upslope support trendline at 0.8740.

AUD/USD hangs near three-week low, below 0.6950 as traders await US NFP report

AUD/USD hits a three-week low during the Asian session on Friday as the RBA’s dovish shift and a rout in equity markets weigh on the risk-sensitive Aussie. However, the recent slump in US bond yields to a two-month low keeps US Dollar bulls on the back foot and limits losses for the currency pair as traders look to the US NFP report for a fresh impetus.

USD/JPY bounces off three-week low; keeps the red near 157.65 as focus remains on US NFP

USD/JPY bounces off the weekly low set during the Asian session, as bears turn cautious ahead of the US NFP report due later this Friday. The upside seems limited as the recent slump in US bond yields and hopes of Iran war de-escalation undermine the US Dollar. Moreover, a hawkish BoJ and intervention risks support the Japanese Yen, capping the pair.

Gold loses the grip; $4,000 comes next on the downside

The precious metal’s retracement follows a decent improvement in the sentiment surrounding the US Dollar, solid NFP data and higher US Treasury yields across the board.
