The EUR/USD pair loses momentum below the 1.0900 mark during the early European session on Friday. The firmer US Dollar (USD) following the upbeat US February PPI data and Initial Jobless Claims have triggered the possibility that the Federal Reserve might delay the interest rate cuts next week, which exerts some selling pressure on the major pair. EUR/USD currently trades near 1.0875, losing 0.09% on the day.

According to the four-hour chart, EUR/USD resumes a bearish outlook as the major pair holds below the key 100-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). The downward momentum is also supported by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which lies below the 50-midline, suggesting the path of least resistance is to the downside.

The initial support level for EUR/USD is located near a low of March 5 at 1.0840. The key contention level is seen at the confluence of a low of February 22 and a psychological mark at 1.0800. The additional downside filter to watch is a low of February 20 at 1.0761, followed by a low of February 15 at 1.0725.

On the bright side, the first upside barrier will emerge at the 100-period EMA at 1.0882. Any follow-through buying above the latter will attract some buyers to a high of March 14 at 1.0955, followed by the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band at 1.0971. A decisive break above this level will see a rally to 1.1000, representing a round mark and a high of January 11.

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.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
