EUR/USD Technical Analysis: The 200-day SMA near 1.1370 still caps the upside

EUR/USD is reversing Tuesday’s negative price action although it manages well to keep business above the critical 1.1300 the figure for the time being.
Downside pressure now appears mitigated following the recent breakout of the multi-month resistance line near 1.1280 and a probable visit to the key 200-day SMA at 1.1365 now looks likely in the short-term horizon.
When and if this area of resistance is cleared, a potential move to March’s peaks in the mid-1.1400s should return to the radar.

EUR/USD flirts with weekly lows near 1.1770

EUR/USD now comes under further selling pressure, breaking below the 1.1800 support to challenge the area of weekly throughs near 1.1770 on Thursday. The pair’s decline comes in response to marked gains in the US Dollar amid steady geopolitical tensions. Ealier in the day, the ECB’s Lagarde delivered cautious remarks, although the currency remained apathetic.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold trims gains, slips back to around $5,170

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The yellow metal surrenders part of its earlier gains on the back of the resurgence of the buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
