GBP/USD
Cable edged higher early Monday and pressure pivotal barrier at 1.3350 (Fibo 61.8% of 1.3423/1.3232 pullback / former recovery peak of Apr 24).
Series of higher lows since 1.3232 correction low, with fresh recovery being tracked by ascending 10DMA add to near term bullish bias, with sustained break of 1.3350 needed to confirm that corrective phase is over, and larger bulls look for fresh attack at key 1.3434 barrier (2024 top).
On the other hand, sharp drop in confidence in the UK economy (at the historical low) and signal that already fragile economy may weaken further, add to warnings that larger bulls may stall on approach to 1.3434.
Growing optimism on fading threats from the negative impact from US trade tariffs and initial signals of Ukraine war peace talks may offer fresh support to US dollar and push sterling in defensive.
The notion is supported by overbought weekly studies, fading bullish momentum and strong upside rejection last week (weekly candle with long upper shadow).
Also, momentum is overstretched and turned sideways on daily chart, along with RSI being close the border of overbought zone, although daily studies are overall still bullish.
Expect prolonged consolidation while the price action remains limited by 1.3423 (recent recovery peak) and 1.3254 (Fibo 23.6% of 1.2708/1.3423 upleg / correction low).
Loss of 1.3254/ 1.3200 to weaken near term structure and risk deeper correction towards 1.3150 (Fibo 38.2%) and 1.3121 (20DMA).
Res: 1.3400; 1.3434; 1.3515; 1.3588.
Sup: 1.3298; 1.3254; 1.3200; 1.3150.

AUD/USD extends the range play ahead of RBA rate decision
AUD/USD stalls the previous day's move higher near the 200-day SMA and consolidates during the Asian session on Tuesday as traders opt to wait for the RBA decision before placing fresh directional bets.

EUR/USD: Minor support comes at 1.1060

Gold price drifts lower amid receding safe-haven demand, modest USD uptick
Gold price stalls the previous day's move higher near the $3,250 supply zone and edges lower during the Asian session on Tuesday. A positive risk tone undermines demand for traditional safe-haven assets and weighs on the bullion amid a slight USD recovery. However, Fed rate cut bets should cap the USD and support the non-yielding yellow metal amid persistent geopolitical risks.
