AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Bounce from 61.8% Fibo./100-day SMA highlights 0.7200 resistance

Anil Panchal FXStreet

AUD/USD is presently trading near 0.7150 ahead of the European open on Tuesday.

The Aussie pair recently bounced off the 0.7140 support-confluence comprising 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of its December 2018 to January 2019 downturn and 100-day simple moving average (SMA).

As a result, chances of its pullback move towards 0.7170 and then to the 0.7195 – 0.7200 resistance area, encompassing 200-day SMA, seem brighter.

Should prices rally beyond 0.7200, 0.7230 and January month highs around 0.7300 could become buyers’ favorites.

In a case where the quote slips beneath 0.7140 support, 0.7100 can offer an intermediate halt ahead of dragging it to 0.7075 trend-line ranging upwards since early March.

Given the sellers’ dominance past-0.7075, 0.7050, 0.7010 and 0.6990 can entertain bears whereas 0.6950 could challenge them afterward.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The GBP/USD pair gains traction to around 1.3520 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar faces some selling pressure against the Cable as tariff uncertainty lingers. Traders will take more cues from the US Producer Price Index report for January, which will be published later on Friday.

Gold eyes a daily closing above key 61.8% Fibo resistance

Gold is adding over 1% early Monday, after having gained 2% on Friday. The bright metal scales key technical hurdles, as buyers stay strong amid renewed tariffs and economic uncertainty alongside looming US-Iran geopolitical tensions.

Top Crypto Losers: Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero extended losses as Bitcoin loses $65,000

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero. Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
