The EUR/GBP pair has been trading in a narrow range over the past few days, with minimal price fluctuations. The pair is currently trading at 0.8335, slightly lower than its opening price for the day after getting rejected by the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).

Technical indicators are sending mixed signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 44, indicating that selling pressure is rising as it points down. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is green and rising, suggesting that buying pressure is also increasing. The overall short-term outlook is mixed, with the RSI indicating a bearish trend and the MACD indicating a bullish recovery.

In terms of support and resistance levels, support can be identified at 0.8330, 0.8315, and 0.8300, while resistance levels stand at 0.8350, 0.8370 and 0.8400. The pair is likely to continue trading within this range in the near term if the buyers are unable to conquer the 20-day SMA at 0.8350.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
