EUR/GBP continues to grind shallow price movement on Tuesday tracing the previous session’s lull performance.

At the time of writing, EUR/GBP is trading at 0.8558, up 0.04% for the day.

EUR/GBP daily chart

On the daily chart, the EUR/GBP cross has been trading lower since the high made on July 20 around 0.8669. The price recovered from the low made on August 10 near 0.8450.

A sustained move below the intraday low would meet the 0.8540 horizontal support level.

In doing so, EUR/GBP bears would then make a way to reach the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8518.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in the oversold zone. Any downtick in the MACD would prompt bears to retest the 0.8490 horizontal support level.

Alternatively, if price moves higher, in that case, the first upside target emerges at the 0.8580 horizontal resistance level.

Next, the bulls would aim at the 0.8610 horizontal resistance level followed by the high made on July 21 at 0.8658.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
