USD/IDR Price Analysis: Pierces two-week-old falling trendline

USD/IDR recovers from the lowest since February 2018.
The year-start low, 200-bar SMA on the bull’s radar.
Sellers need to conquer the weekly support line for the fresh ruling.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/IDR rises to 13,665 ahead of the European session on Tuesday. In doing so, the pair crosses a fortnight-old descending trend line.

As a result, buyers can expect the recovery towards the mid-month top near 13,730. Though, January 01 low around 13,835 and 200-bar SMA, at 13,895, can challenge buyers afterward.

Given the bull's ability to dominate the moves past-13,895, odds supporting the pair’s rise beyond the monthly high near 14,025 can’t be denied.

Alternatively, an immediate descending trend line around 13,605 can limit the pair’s declines during the pullback below previous resistance line, now support, nearing 13,650.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
