EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Bulls take a breather near descending trend-line hurdle ahead of Euro-zone GDP

Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• The pair continued gaining positive traction for the fifth straight session on Thursday and is now looking to build on the momentum further beyond the key 1.1500 psychological mark.

• The fact that the pair has found acceptance above 100-day SMA support prospects for further up-move, though slightly overbought conditions on the 4-hourly chart seemed to cap gains.

• The ongoing bullish trajectory over the past one week or so paused near a resistance marked by a descending trend-line, extending from Sept. 2018 swing high through tops set earlier this month.

• Meanwhile, technical indicators on the daily chart have just started gaining traction and add credence to the constructive set-up ahead of the flash Euro-zone Q3 GDP growth figures.

The USD/JPY pair gains some positive traction at the start of a new week, recovering further from Friday's post-Bank of Japan (BoJ) swing low to sub-157.00 levels.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
