EUR/USD Price Analysis: Rising bets for a drop to parity

EUR/USD’s price action remains depressed on Friday.
Further weakness could test the parity zone soon-ish.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD drops and rebounds from fresh cycle lows around 1.0070 on Friday.

The pair’s bearish stance stays everything but abated for the time being. Against that, there is a minor support level at 1.0060 (low December 11 2002). The loss of this level could lead up to a visit to parity for the first time since December 2002.

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view is expected to prevail as long as it trades below the 200-day SMA at 1.1071.

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far.

The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.
