EUR/USD Price Analysis: Back above 50-hour MA, needs to keep gains to weaken bearish outlook

EUR/USD has bounced to levels above the 50-hour average.
Failure to keep gains above the average could prove costly.

EUR/USD has moved back above the 50-hour moving average (MA). The pair is currently trading at 1.0810 and the average is located at 1.0808.

Throughout the recent decline from 1.1095, the pair has charted bearish lower highs just above the 50-hour MA.

Hence, the latest break above the average is an acid test of sorts for the bulls. If they manage to build on the breakout above the hourly average, the immediate bearish technical bias would be neutralized.

That will likely cause some sellers to exit the market, leading to a stronger corrective bounce to 1.0850.

Alternatively, a drop to fresh multi-year lows below 1.0782 could be seen if the bulls again fail to keep gains above the 50-hour MA.

EUR/USD remains bid near 1.1650 post-US ADP

Finally some respite for the risk complex see EUR/USD partially recover from the recent steep sell-off, this time hovering around the 1.1650 zone amid decent gains in a context of renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar. However, the duration and extension of this bounce should be put to the test amid the unabated tensions in the Middle East.

GBP/USD meets resistance around 1.3400

In line with its risk-linked peers, GBP/USD stages a modest comeback on Wednesday, although meeting some resistance around the 1.3400 neighbourhood.

Gold flirts with $5,200 amid safe haven demand

Gold partially fades Tuesday’s sharp pullback, regaining the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on the back of the resurgence of investors’ demand for the safe-haven space. The precious metal remains well propped up by the deterioration of the geopolitical scenario in the Middle East, while the softer tone in the US Dollar collaborates with the uptick.
