EUR/USD technical analysis: Mildly bid, but bull reversal remains elusive

EUR/USD on Friday failed to confirm a bullish close above 1.1087.
Key trendline hurdle is the new level to beat for the bulls.

EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.1078, representing marginal gains on the day amid oil price spike.

The currency pair on Friday faced rejection at the resistance of the trendline connecting June 25 and Aug. 13 highs and closed below 1.1087 – the high of Thursday's bullish engulfing candle.

The pair, therefore, failed to confirm a bullish reversal. Also, now the descending trendline is the level to beat for the bulls.

As of writing, the falling trendline hurdle is seen at 1.1103. A daily close above that level would validate Thursday's bullish candle and open the doors to 1.1164 (Aug. 26 high) and 1.12.

On the downside, key support is 1.1055 (Friday's low), which if violated, would mark the continuation of the retreat from Friday's high of 1.1110.

EUR/USD trims losses, flirts with the 1.1850 zone

EUR/USD is back on the back foot on Wednesday, slipping below the 1.1850 area as the US Dollar picks up some modest traction. The move comes as traders position ahead of a busy run of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Adding to the pullback are reports that the ECB’s Lagarde may step down before completing her term.

GBP/USD flirts with daily highs near 1.3580

GBP/USD manages to set aside two consecutive daily declines and trades with slight gains in the 1.3580 zone on Wednesday. Cable’s uptick comes despite acceptable gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Gold gathers fresh upside traction on Wednesday, leaving part of the weakness seen at the beginning of the week and refocusing its attention to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce, all ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes and despite the modest uptick in the US Dollar.

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 steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. 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.

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple face downside risk as bears regain control
