EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: EUR/GBP reaches 0.9000 target - Bulls now eyeing 2018 high

EUR/GBP is extending the move up for the sixth consecutive day within the main bullish trend.
Mission accomplished for EUR/GBP bulls who took profits at 0.9000 figure. The market is now consolidating below the level as EUR/GBP keeps trading within the bull channel. Bulls are now looking to re-launch an attack to 0.9000 and target 0.9032, the current 2018 high.
A sustained bear breakout below 0.8965 would invalidate the bullish bias.

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 clings to gains as US-Iran conflict continues to underpin safe-haven assets

Gold retains positive bias for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to underpin safe-haven assets.
