​​​EUR/USD bounces back ahead of US NFPs

EUR/USD looks short-term bid ahead of US non-farm payrolls. The late August $1.1201 high now acts as resistance while Tuesday's low at $1.1027 acts as minor support. Below it lies the August 5 high at $1.1009.

​EUR/GBP trades sideways

EUR/GBP seems to have a slight bullish bias above the June-to-July lows at £0.8398-to-£0.8378. If fallen through, the 2 August 2022 low at £0.8240 would be eyed, though.

​​Minor resistance continues to be seen along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at £0.8466.

​GBP/USD shows minor bid

GBP/USD recovers further from Tuesday's $1.3088 low, below which lie the July 2023 peak at $1.3143 and the $1.3045 July high.

​​Resistance is seen around the $1.3267-99 February low and March 2022 high. It is also where the late August high was made.
