EUR/USD Price Analysis: Keeps bounce off eight-month-old support around 1.1850

EUR/USD steadies after snapping three-day downtrend, bouncing off three-month low.
MACD conditions back the corrective pullback but two-week-old hurdle tests bulls.
Sellers remain hopeful below 200-DMA, 1.1785 becomes the key support.

EUR/USD seesaws around 1.1850, consolidating the strongest daily gains in three weeks, amid the initial Asian session trading on Friday. Even so, the currency major pair keeps the previous day’s bounce off an ascending support line from early November 2020.

Also favoring the bulls could be the MACD line’s leaning over the signal indicators, suggesting a bullish cross and recovery in prices.

However, a descending trend line from June 25 guards immediate upside around 1.1865 ahead of the 1.1900 threshold.

It’s worth noting that a clear upside past 1.1900 enables the EUR/USD buyers to aim for late June top near 1.1975 but 200-DMA level near 1.2010 will challenge any further advances.

Alternatively, pullback moves will battle the said support line around 1.1785, a daily closing below the same won’t hesitate to challenge the yearly low of 1.1704.

Overall, EUR/USD is up for consolidating recent losses but the bulls await clear signals.

EUR/USD flirts with weekly lows near 1.1770

EUR/USD now comes under further selling pressure, breaking below the 1.1800 support to challenge the area of weekly throughs near 1.1770 on Thursday. The pair’s decline comes in response to marked gains in the US Dollar amid steady geopolitical tensions. Ealier in the day, the ECB’s Lagarde delivered cautious remarks, although the currency remained apathetic.

GBP/USD makes a U-turn, challenges 1.3500

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, putting the 1.3500 support to the test on Thursday. 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 sticks to the bid bias, flirts with $5,200

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The precious metal adds to Wednesday’s optimism despite the Greenback trades in a firm fashion, although geopolitical tensions in the Middle East keep the yellow metal bid for now.
