EUR/USD gained traction in the second half of the day on Thursday, maintaining its consolidation phase above 1.0700 into Friday as investors geared up for the highly impactful data release of the week, the April US employment report. Positive shifts in risk sentiment were observed, which exerted downward pressure on the US Dollar during Thursday's US trading session and aided EUR/USD in reversing course to the upside following declines seen during the European trading session.
From a technical standpoint, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart continues to hold above 50, and EUR/USD remains steadfast above the Simple Moving Averages (SMA) of 100, 50, and 20. This indicates that the upward trend remains intact and is likely to persist in the near term.
