EUR/USD licks its wounds around 1.0790 after a two-day pullback from the highest levels since April 2022. Even so, the major currency pair defends the previous day’s break of the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and an upward-sloping support line from early November 2022.

Not only the sustained downside break of the previous key support confluence but the bearish MACD signals and steady RSI (14) also keeps the EUR/USD sellers hopeful.

That said, a seven-week-old resistance-turned-support line near 1.0660 appears the immediate target for the EUR/USD bears to watch before aiming for the 1.0500 support confluence including the 100-EMA and 200-EMA.

It’s worth noting that the previous monthly low near 1.0480 acts as an extra filter towards the south before welcoming the EUR/USD bears.

On the flip side, the 21-day EMA and the three-month-old previous support line challenge the EUR/USD bulls near 1.0820.

Following that, multiple levels near 1.0900 and 1.0920 could test the pair’s further upside before highlighting the latest peak surrounding 1.1035.

In a case where EUR/USD remains firmer past 1.1035, the odds of witnessing a rally toward the March 2022 high near 1.1185 can’t be ruled out.

Overall, EUR/USD remains on the bear’s radar despite the latest inaction.

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 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.
