EUR/USD

Break of the 1.1200 level see downside checked at 1.1176 low so far though the downside still not firm and lower will see scope to 1.1154 support then the 200-day MA at 1.1116. Stretched intraday tools caution bounce and see the recent lows at 1.1245 and 1.1271 now reverting to resistance. [PL]

USD/CHF

Lift above the .9700/08 area on Fri saw sharp rally to approach the .9800 level. Above this see strong resistance at the .9831, 200-day MA, then .9844 high. Clearance will see scope to the .9900 level then .9950/56, Jul/May highs. Support now at .9725 and .9688, recent high. [PL]

USD/JPY

Extending bounce from the 100.00 level last Fri with lift above 102.00 clearing the way towards strong resistance at the 102.27 and 102.66 highs. Clearance will see scope to the 103.50. Support now at 101.50 then the 101.17/100.93 area. [PL]

Rally to break the 1.0925 and 1.0945 highs extending the up-leg from 1.0827 low. Nearby see scope to 1.0986 then the 1.1000 level. Stretched intraday tools caution pullback with the 200-day MA at 1.0925 and then 1.0900 level now support. Only below the latter will return focus to the downside. [PL]

GBP/USD

Sharp reversal from last Friday's high of 1.3279 in the appearance of a large Outside-range is helping to retain downside pressure during intraday trading and eyes lower support at 1.3024 and break will unlease another round of selling. [W.T].

EUR/GBP

Settled into consolidation from the .8485 low though the upside seen limited with resistance now at the .8580/91 area. Would need lift over this to revive upside strength for retest of the .8692/.8725 highs. Lower high sought for retest of the .8485 low later.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
