Brent nears key October support at $60.10 – Société Générale

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Brent is drifting toward October’s $60.10 support, with only limited rebound potential amid persistent failure at the 200-DMA, Société Générale's FX analysts note.

200-DMA at $66.80 remains firm resistance

"Brent is gradually approaching October’s lows near $60.10, which could act as interim support. A brief rebound cannot be ruled out; however, Brent has consistently failed to establish above the 200-DMA during the recent downtrend."

"The moving average, currently around $66.80, serves as a key short-term resistance. A failure to clear this hurdle may result in continuation of decline. Below $60.10, the next objectives could be located at the April/May lows of $58.40 and $55.00."

Gold targets $4,700 on broad USD selling

Gold attracts strong buying interest at the start of the week, surging to a fresh record high near $4,700 per troy ounce.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe in a freefall, echoing Bitcoin’s drop

Meme coins, such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe, extend the decline from last week, with a roughly 3% drop on Monday. The meme coins trade below the crucial moving averages, aiming for the immediate support to potentially reset the momentum.

When tariffs become ammunition and capital becomes the battlefield

Markets opened the week like a risk engine hitting a pothole at speed. Equities stepped back, gold vaulted to fresh highs, Treasuries caught a bid, and the dollar, outside of havens, took on a soft bid. This was not a data-driven wobble or a valuation purge.
