EUR/USD Price Analysis: Another drop to 1.0450 should not be ruled out

EUR/USD reverses initial gains and refocuses on 1.0500.
There is still scope for another visit to the YTD low near 1.0450.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD gives away the initial advance to the 1.0570 region and shifts its attention back to the 1.0500 neighbourhood on Friday.

The continuation of the rebound should initially retarget the minor barrier at 1.0617 (September 29) ahead of the weekly peak of 1.0767 (September 12). On the flip side, if bears regain the upper hand, the pair could slip back to the area of yearly lows around 1.0450 (October 3).

Meanwhile, further losses remain on the table as long as the pair navigates the area below the key 200-day SMA, today at 1.0823.

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

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.
