EUR/GBP Price Analysis: Ascends gradually, as bull's eye 0.8750

EUR/GBP edges higher to 0.8724, marking a slight 0.08% increase, as it sustains momentum above the 200-day moving average.
The pair's advance slows, indicated by a lower Average True Range, pointing to decreased market volatility.
The next bullish milestones are set at the recent peak of 0.8754 and the psychological 0.8800 level, while a dip below 0.8700 could challenge the 200-DMA support.

The EUR/GBP rallies for the fourth straight day in the mid-North American session, gains a minimal 0.08%, trading at 0.8724 after hitting a daily low of 0.8693.

The cross-pair is upward biased once it reclaimed the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 0.8687. Nevertheless, the uptrend appears to have lost some steam, as the Average True Range (ATR) at 37 pips suggests volatility is shrinking.

For a bullish resumption, EUR/GBP buyers must reclaim the October 11 high at 0.8754, followed by the 0.8800 figure. On the other hand, if sellers’ step in and pull the exchange rate below 0.8700, that would open the door to test the 200-DMA at 0.8687, which would exacerbate a drop to the 50-DMA at 0.8653.

GBP/USD dips below 1.3350 with bullish momentum losing steam

The British Pound ticks lower against the US Dollar Monday, attempting to close a seven-day rally, as tensions rise again in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the critical points in the peace process between Washington and Tehran. The GBP/USD pair trades near 1.3340 at the time of writing, down from 1.3387 highs last week, although it maintains a near-term bullish trend intact.

EUR/USD trims losses, back to 1.1430

EUR/USD remains under pressure on Monday, although it now manages to trim its earlier losses and return to the 1.1430 zone, down marginally for the day. The pair’s mild pullback comes on the back of modest gains in the US Dollar in quite an apathetic start to the week.

Gold meets resistance around $4,200

Gold comes under fresh downside pressure on Monday, reversing three daily upticks in a row and meeting some initial resistance around the $4,200 mark per troy ounce. Safe-haven demand has shifted toward the US Dollar as renewed tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz weigh on market sentiment, limiting the precious metal's upside.

The US Dollar just beat the Swiss Franc at its own safe-haven game

As the king among safe havens, the Swiss Franc is supposed to benefit from geopolitical shocks such as the Iran war. This time, it didn’t. The Swissie is nearly 6% below January’s peak against the USD after a sharp decline that came along with the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
