EUR/USD technical analysis

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair settled below the 1.0720 level, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). It is now consolidating near the 1.0670 support zone.

On the upside, the pair is facing resistance near the 1.0710 level. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance at 1.0710 on the same chart.

The first major resistance is near the 1.0720 level. A clear move above the 1.0720 resistance might send it toward the 1.0750 level. The main resistance is still near 1.0765. Any more gains might call for a move toward the 1.0820 level in the near term.

If not, the pair might dip again. Immediate support is near the 1.0670 level. The next major support is near the 1.0650 zone. A downside break and close below the 1.0650 support zone could open the doors for a larger decline. In the stated case, the pair could decline toward the 1.0550 level.

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.

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.
