In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro. The EUR/USD pair fell from 1.0829 to 1.0776. The 75-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart acted as resistance, causing the pair to decline.On the 4-hour chart, the downtrend along the 20-period moving average continues, and on the daily chart, the RSI is showing signs of pulling back from 73. It will be interesting to see if the U.S. dollar continues to rise during European trading hours.
Among European currencies, the pound fell against the yen. The GBP/JPY pair dropped from 195.006 to 193.646. It fell within the range of the hourly Bollinger Bands from +2σ to -3σ.On the 4-hour chart, the upside is being capped by the +2σ Bollinger Band, while on the daily chart, the pair is currently caught in a tug-of-war between a breakout above and a pullback just below the 200-day SMA. We will need to keep a close eye on price action to see if the pound’s weakness will resolve during U.S. trading hours.
