EUR/USD has corrected sharply lower. Economists at Credit Suisse analyze the pair’s technical outlook.

Below 1.0833, weakness can extend further yet to test the 200-DMA at 1.0714

There is scope for further weakness yet to the 1.0905/1.0833 support cluster – the rising 55-DMA, uptrend from last September and early July lows. This needs to hold to suggest weakness is corrective ahead of strength back to 1.1152 and then a retest of 1.1275/77. An eventual break above here can see resistance next at 1.1391/96 ahead of 1.1495 and eventually 1.1703/1.1748 – the March 2021 low and 78.6% retracement of the 2021/2022 fall.

Below 1.0833 though would neutralise our current tactical view and suggest weakness can extend further yet to test the 200-DMA, currently at 1.0714, where we would expect fresh buyers to show.

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold trims gains, slips back to around $5,170

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The yellow metal surrenders part of its earlier gains on the back of the resurgence of the buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
