Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD extends the bullish mood north of the key 1.1000 barrier at the beginning of the week.

The pair looks poised to extend the recovery further in the near term at least. That said, the immediate hurdle is expected at the 2023 high at 1.1075 (April 14) seconded by the round level at 1.1100.

Looking at the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0395.

EUR/USD flirts with weekly lows near 1.1770

EUR/USD now comes under further selling pressure, breaking below the 1.1800 support to challenge the area of weekly throughs near 1.1770 on Thursday. The pair’s decline comes in response to marked gains in the US Dollar amid steady geopolitical tensions. Ealier in the day, the ECB’s Lagarde delivered cautious remarks, although the currency remained apathetic.

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.

In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
