EUR/USD has been climbing up for a fourth day in a row. It’s heading towards the high of March 9 at 1.1445. If it crosses it, it may surge even to the key psychological mark at 1.15. While the US dollar continues waning amid the current risk-on sentiment, it’s quite possible. Anyway, support levels are at 1.1280 and 1.1215.
Gold is trading sideways. It’s stuck in a range between $1 794 and $1 815. If it crosses the resistance at $1 810, it may surge to the next one at $1 815. Support levels are $1 800 and $1 794.
The British pound got a tailwind from the better-than-expected CPI. GBP/USD has formed a long-legged doji pattern on the daily chart, which reflects a great amount of indecision on the market. The pair will meet the resistance at the 200-day moving average at 1.268. If it breaks it through, it will surge higher to 1.275. Support levels are at 1.2415 and 1.2300.
The Australian dollar gained amid the present risk-on sentiment. It approached the key resistance at 0.7015 and reversed. Now it’s moving towards the 50-day moving average at 0.6956. If it breaks it down, it will fall to the next support at 0.6925.
