AUD/USD picks up bids to recover from fortnight-old horizontal support to snap two-day downtrend.
Short-term resistance line, 200-HMA prod immediate upside even as RSI rebound, bullish MACD signal favor intraday Aussie buyers.

AUD/USD refreshes intraday high near 0.6665 as it bounces off short-term key support to print the first daily gains in three amid early Monday. In doing so, the Aussie pair also justifies the RSI (14) line’s rebound from the oversold territory.

It’s worth noting, that the bullish MACD signals also favor the AUD/USD pair’s U-turn from a two-week-old horizontal support zone surrounding 0.6640.

However, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s run-up from April 28 to May 10, close to 0.6670, precedes a downward-sloping resistance line from May 10, near 0.6680 at the latest, to restrict short-term AUD/USD rebound.

Even if the AUD/USD pair rises past 0.6680, the 200-HMA and a horizontal area comprising multiple levels marked since May 05, close to 0.6750, can challenge the buyers before giving them control.

Alternatively, a downside break of the aforementioned horizontal support near 0.6640 won’t hesitate to challenge the late April swing low of around 0.6575.

Following that, the yearly low marked in March around 0.6565 may act as an extra filter towards the south.

Overall, the AUD/USD pair is likely to keep the latest recovery but the upside room appears limited.

EUR/USD meets initial support around 1.1800

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, although it has managed to reverse the initial strong pullback toward the 1.1800 region and regain some balance, hovering around the 1.1850 zone as the NA session draws to a close on Tuesday. Moving forward, market participants will now shift their attention to the release of the FOMC Minutes and US hard data on Wednesday.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold hangs near one-week low; looks to FOMC Minutes for fresh impetus

Gold is consolidating just above the $4,850 level, having touched a one-week low on Tuesday, amid mixed cues. Signs of progress in US–Iran talks dent demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, rising bets for more Fed rate cuts keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. Traders also seem reluctant ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which would offer cues about the Fed's rate-cut path and provide some meaningful impetus.
