EUR/USD hits lowest since November 2020
EUR/USD clocked a low of 1.1835 a few minutes before press time. That was the lowest level in four months. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped below 30, indicating oversold conditions for the first since February 2020. However, the indicator needs validation from the price chart, which is currently showing no signs of bear fatigue.
GBP/USD attempts a bounce around 1.3850 amid improving mood

USD/JPY refreshes 9-month highs above 109.00 amid relentless USD surge
USD/JPY refreshes nine-month highs above 109.00, extending to the upside in tandem with the US dollar. The price is reaching higher highs and may have some way to go until bears will step in at overbought conditions according to RSI.
Gold looks to regain $1,700 as US Treasury yields drop
Gold consolidates recent losses from nine-month low flashed the previous day. US stimulus may arrive on Wednesday, US 10-year Treasury yields snap four-day winning streak. Risks remain mildly bid, US dollar refreshes highest levels since Nov 2020.
WTI: Immediate HMA confluence tests recovery moves around $65.50
WTI holds $65.00, currently up 0.80%, during early Tuesday. In doing so, the energy benchmark recovers from the intraday low while trying to trim Monday’s pullback moves from a multi-month high. Although RSI’s U-turn from the oversold area, coupled with upbeat fundamentals, favor WTI bulls, a confluence of 21 and 50-HMA around $65.50-55 probes immediate upside of the black gold.

About USDCHF
The pair reflects how many Swiss Francs are needed to purchase one American dollar. Both currencies are considered safe-havens, although after the SNB lifted the peg with its currency with the EUR back in January 2015, the CHF has partially lost attractive in turmoil times, with speculative interest more inclined then to buy the JPY or Gold. With sentiment in risk-off mode, the American dollar tends to weaken more than any other safe-haven asset.
