EUR/USD technical analysis

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair was able to clear the 1.0780 resistance zone. There was a close above the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour) and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour).

The pair even tested the 1.0840 zone and is currently consolidating gains. On the upside, EUR/USD might face resistance near the 1.0850 level. The next resistance sits at 1.0865.

The main hurdle sits at 1.0920. A clear move above the 1.0920 resistance might send it toward the 1.0980 level. Any more gains might open the doors for a test of the 1.1120 zone in the coming days.

Immediate support is near the 1.0810 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0660 swing low to the 1.0842 high. The next major support is near the 1.0790 level. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at 1.0790 on the same chart.

A downside break and close below the 1.0790 support zone could open the doors for more losses. In the stated case, the pair could decline toward the 1.0730 level and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour).

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar. In the meantime, US inflation figures showed the headline CPI rose less than expected in January, removing some tailwinds from the Greenback’s momentum.

GBP/USD clings to gains above 1.3600

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January. Earlier in the day, the BoE’s Pill suggested that UK inflation could settle around 2.5%, above the bank’s goal.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked retracement, as bargain-hunters seem to have stepped in. The precious metal’s upside, however, appears limited amid the slightly better tone in the US Dollar after US inflation data saw the CPI rise less than estimated at the beginning of the year.
