Support
1.2213 - Y'day's low
1.2156 - Equal. of 1.2784-1.2382 fm 1.2558
1.2110 - Mar 14 2017 low

GBP/USD - 1.2215.. Cable resumed its recent losing streak on continued market fears of a no-deal Brexit n tumbled below Fri's 27-month trough at 1.2377 to as low as 1.2213 in NY on broad-based selloff in streling before stabilising.
On the bigger picture, cable's rally fm 2016 31-year bottom at 1.1491 due to a 'flash crash' on Brexit worries to 2018 21-month peak at 1.4377 in Apr con- firms major low has been made. Sterling's fall to a 20-month bottom of 1.2412 at the start of Jan suggests downside bias remains. Despite erratic rise to 1.3383 in Mar, cable break of Jun's 1.2507 low to a 28-month trough at 1.2213 on Mon suggests said fall fm 1.4377 would head twd 1.2110 but oversold readings on daily indicators may keep price abv 1.1983 (2017 low in Jan). On the upside, only a daily close bv 1.2588 suggests temporary low made n may risk stronger correction to 1.2662, then 1.2735 in Aug.
Today, y'day's selloff to a 28-month trough at 1.2213 signals MT decline remains in force n would head to 1.2170/80, as hourly oscillators are in o/sold territory, reckon price would hold well abv 1.2110 n yield a much-needed correct- ion. Only abv 1.2377/82 signals temporary low is in place.

GBP/USD remains slightly bid near 1.3300

GBP/USD now advances marginally and manages to dispute the 1.3300 region on Tuesday. Indeed, Cable regains some balance on the back of the lacklustre performance of the Greenback, all preceding the Fed’s meeting on Wednesday and the BoE’s gathering on Thursday.

EUR/USD recedes from tops, back below 1.1400

EUR/USD manages to set aside part of the recent weakness and clinches decent gains on Tuesday. Indeed, spot keeps the trade below the 1.1400 mark amid acceptable losses in the US Dollar, all following rising optimism of a US-Iran deal and steady caution prior to the FOMC gathering on Wednesday.

Gold bounces on poor US data

Gold remains under marked downside pressure on Tuesday, although the $4,000 zone per troy ounce emerges as a decent support for now. The precious metal’s pullback comes despite the modest losses in the US Dollar in a context of easing geopolitical tensions ahead of the key Fed event on Wednesday.

XRP falls toward $1.00 despite dwindling exchange reserves

Ripple (XRP) continues to trade under increasing pressure on Tuesday. This marks the second consecutive day of declines, reflecting broader risk-off sentiment as investors appear to shift gears in anticipation of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged in the 3.50%-3.75% range.

Warning signs in the stock market: Is this the top, or just a very short fuse?

Overnight, South Korea's Kospi fell more than 10%, SK Hynix lost close to 15% and Samsung Electronics lost 13%. Into that, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded up around 1% on paint and soft drinks, and S&P 500 futures sat roughly flat. An index that absorbs a memory-chip panic and prints nothing is not a calm market.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
