EUR/USD Price Analysis: Outlook shifts to constructive above 1.0800

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

- EUR/USD shoots past the 1.0800 barrier, or multi-week highs.

- Extra gains appear on the cards above 1.0800.

EUR/USD picks up extra pace and surpasses the 1.0800 hurdle for the first time since early September.

A clear breakout of the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0801, should shift the pair’s outlook to a more constructive one and open the door to a potential challenge of the weekly high of 1.0945 (August 30).

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.
