EUR/USD: Stuck in a bearish channel on the 15-min chart
EUR/USD's immediate bias remains neutral, with the exchange rate trapped in a bearish channel on the 15-minute chart. A move through the upper end of the falling channel would signal a resumption of the rally from Oct. 19 lows near 1.17 and open the doors for 1.18.

Technical Overview
EUR/USD's immediate bias remains neutral, with the exchange rate trapped in a bearish channel on the 15-minute chart. A move through the upper end of the falling channel would signal a resumption of the rally from Oct. 19 lows near 1.17 and open the doors for 1.18.
However, a daily close above the Oct. 9 high of 1.1831 is needed to revive the broader bullish outlook. Alternatively, a break below 1.1760 could invite stronger selling pressure, yielding a deeper pullback to 1.1740. The area around 1.1760 has offered support three times over the past 24 hours.
Fundamental Overview
About this last, however, there are no news indicating progress, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Democrats had set a 48-hour deadline to clinch a deal. The greenback maintained its sour tone across the FX board despite Wall Street being unable to hold on to early gains and turned red mid-US afternoon.
The macroeconomic calendar had little to offer. ECB’s President Christine Lagarde and Fed’s Chair Jerome Powell participated in different virtual events but made no relevant comments related to the current monetary policy. This Tuesday, Germany will publish the September Producer Price Index, while the US will release September Building Permits and Housing Starts for the same month. In general, the calendar will be light this week, which means the focus will remain on stimulus and other pandemic-related issues, and Brexit.

GBP/USD: 1.2970 guards immediate upside
GBP/USD consolidates losses from 1.3025 while bouncing off 1.2936. Confluence of 200-HMA, two-day-old ascending trend line challenges the pullback moves. 1.2863 can offer immediate support ahead of the monthly low.
USD/JPY holds gains above 105.50 amid positive S&P 500 futures
USD/JPY extends Monday’s recovery moves above 105.50, benefiting from gains in the S&P 500 futures and Treasury yields. The further upside, however, appears elusive amid a cautious tone on the Asian stocks heading into Tuesday's US fiscal stimulus deadline.
Gold: Battle lines well-mapped ahead of US stimulus deadline
Gold (XAU/USD) remains in limbo, as it continues with the range play around $1900. A lack of progress and clarity on the US fiscal stimulus keeps the XAU bulls unmotivated. Meanwhile, the US dollar draws bids amid increased haven demand.
WTI: Slips below $41.00 inside monthly ascending triangle
WTI remains pressured after stepping back from the resistance line of a short-term triangle. 50-bar SMA offers immediate support, 200-bar SMA adds to the downside filter. A clear break of $42.10 becomes necessary to convince buyers.

MOST INFLUENTIAL POLITICAL EVENTS IN 2020 FOR EURUSD
2020 should be the year of change or at least, the year when things begin to change. The recent trade deals hint some relief in the trade war front, hence in growth’s concerns. Economic developments and central banks’ decisions will motorize action throughout the first half of the year. In November 2020, the US will go to the polls. That grants a shaky year-end in the financial world. Will Trump be able to retain its chair?.

About EURUSD
The EURUSD (or Euro Dollar) currency pair belongs to the group of 'Majors', a way to mention the most important pairs in the world. This group also includes the following currency pairs: GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, NZD/USD and USD/CAD. The popularity is due to the fact that it gathers two main economies: the European and American (from United States of America) ones. This is a widely traded currency pair where the Euro is the base currency and the US Dollar is the counter currency. Since the EURUSD pair consists of more than half of all the trading volume worldwide in the Forex Market, it is almost impossible for a gap to appear, let alone a consequent breakaway gap in the opposite direction.
Normally, it is very quiet during the Asian session because economic data that affects the fundamentals of those currencies is released in either the European or U.S. session. Once traders in Europe get to their desks a flurry of activity hits the tape as they start filling customer orders and jockey for positions. At noon activity slows down as traders step out for lunch and then picks back up again as the U.S. comes online. If there is important U.S. data we can expect quiet markets just ahead of the number. U.S. economic news have the ability to either reinforce an existing trend or reverse it depending on by how much it missed or beat expectations with the EURUSD news. By 5:00 GMT liquidity leaves the market once again as European traders close out positions and head home.

GBP/USD
The GBP/USD (or Pound Dollar) currency pair belongs to the group of 'Majors', a way to mention the most important pairs worldwide. This group also includes the following currency pairs: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, NZD/USD and USD/CAD. The pair is also called 'The Cable', reffering to the first Transatlantic cable that was crossing the Atlantic Ocean in order to connect Great Britain with the United States of America. This term was originated in the mid-19th century and it makes GBP/USD one of the oldest currency pairs in the world.
The popularity of the Pound Dollar is due to the fact that represents two strong economies: British and American (from United States of America). The Cable is a widely observed and traded currency pair where the Pound is the base currency and the US Dollar is the counter currency. After the result of the Brexit referendum, where the majority of the British voted to abandon the European Union, GBP/USD has been suffering some turbulence in the Forex market as a consequence of the associated risks of leaving the single market.
USD/JPY
The USD/JPY (or US Dollar Japanese Yen) currency pair is one of the 'Majors', the most important pairs in the world. Japanese Yen has a low interest rate, normally used in carry trades, that's why is one of the most trades currencies worldwide. In the USD/JPY the US Dollar is the base currency and the Japanese Yen is the counter currency. The pair represents American (from United States of America) and Japanese economies.
Trading the USD/JPY currency pair is also known as trading the "ninja" or the "gopher", although this last name is more frequently used when reffered to the GBP/JPY currency pair. The US Dollar Japanese Yen usually has a positive correlation with the following two pairs: USD/CHF and USD/CAD. The nature of this correlation is dued to the fact that both currency pairs also use the US Dollar as the base currency, such as USD/JPY. The value of the pair tends to be affected when the two main central banks of each country, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), face serious interest rate differential.
