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).

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

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.
