EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro plunges 130 pips on ECB, now finding support yet again at 1.1730

EUR/USD tested the 1.1850 level and then tanked about 130 pips as the ECB said it would hold rates on hold until mid-2019.
EUR/USD is back to the 1.1730 key support level which has been containing prices for the last four sessions. The trading range stays in place as long as the market is holding 1.1730 and 1.1850.
A strong bear breakout is needed below 1.1730 to confirm any bearish bias.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
