U.S. Dollar Index is mostly flat in quiet trading as traders are waiting for catalysts.
U.S. Dollar Index continues its attempts to settle below the support at 106.80 – 107.00. If U.S. Dollar Index manages to settle below the 106.80 level, it will move towards the next support level, which is located in the 105.50 – 105.70 range.
EUR/USD is losing some ground as traders take profits after the recent rebound. From the technical point of view, EUR/USD needs to settle above the resistance at 1.0515 – 1.0530 to gain additional upside momentum.
In case EUR/USD climbs above the 1.0530 level, it will head towards the next resistance level at 1.0630 – 1.0645.
GBP/USD is trying to settle above the resistance at 1.2600 – 1.2615 as traders bet on the continuation of the rally.
A successful test of the resistance at 1.2600 – 1.2615 will push GBP/USD towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 1.2715 – 1.2730 range. RSI is in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
USD/CAD is mostly flat amid lack of strong catalysts. Other commodity-related currencies are moving higher in today’s trading session.
In case USD/CAD settles back above the support level at 1.4180 – 1.4200, it will move towards the 50 MA at 1.4277. A move above the 50 MA will push USD/CAD towards the resistance level at 1.4330 – 1.4350.
USD/JPY is moving lower as traders focus on the better-than-expected GDP Growth Rate report from Japan. The report showed that GDP Growth Rate was +0.7% in the fourth quarter, compared to analyst forecast of +0.3%.
If USD/JPY settles below the support level at 151.50 – 152.00, it will move towards the next support at 149.00 – 149.50.
