EUR/USD Technical Analysis: A surpass of the 100-day SMA allows for a test of 1.1180

EUR/USD is prolonging the recovery so far this week and is now testing the key 100-day SMA in the 1.1120 region, coming up from 2-week lows in the 1.1070 region.
Against this backdrop, last Thursday’s bearish ‘outside day’ has already played its part and the focus now appears to have re-shifted to the upside.
That said, a move beyond the 100-day SMA should open the door for another visit to monthly peaks near 1.1180 ahead of the more relevant 200-day SMA just below 1.1200 the figure.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold moves closer to $5,150 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold climbs back above $5,100 during the Asian session on Wednesday, moving away from an over one-week low, touched the previous day. Sustained safe-haven flow, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, acts as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI later today.
