EUR/USD Price Analysis: 100-SMA guards immediate upside but bulls can stay hopeful

EUR/USD keeps Fed-led run-up beyond the short-term resistance line.
Bullish MACD, sustained trend line breakout favor bulls.
Sellers need to wait for one-week-old support break for fresh entries.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

EUR/USD wavers around the weekly top, currently up 0.05% near 1.1985, during the early Thursday. In doing so, the currency major holds the previous day’s break out of a downward sloping trend line from March 03, backed by the dovish Fed.

However, the 100-SMA level of 1.1995, quickly followed by the 1.2000 threshold, seems to tests the short-term EUR/USD buyers ahead of directing them to the 200-SMA, at 1.2040 now.

It should be noted though that the pair’s ability to stay beyond the stated trend line resistance amid bullish MACD favors EUR/USD buyers to eye the monthly top around 1.2115 during any further upside past-1.2040.

Alternatively, pullback moves need to slip beneath the previous resistance line, now support, near 1.1910, to recall the EUR/USD sellers for a while.

Though, a clear downside break of an ascending support line from March 09, currently around 1.1890, becomes necessary for the confirmation of the quote’s further weakness.

EUR/USD flirts with yearly lows in the sub-1.1600 area

EUR/USD adds to Monday’s heavy losses and breaks below the key 1.1600 support on Tuesday, putting the YTD lows around 1.1570 to the test. The pair’s deep pullback comes as the US Dollar extend its strong bounce, always propped up by the intense flight-to-safety environment.

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold remains offered around $5,170

Gold comes under renewed and marked selling pressure on Tuesday, hovering around the $5,170 mark per troy ounce and reversing four consecutive daily advances. The yellow metal’s bearish tone comes on the back of the increasing demand for the Greenback at the time when investors continue to trim bets on further Fed rate cuts.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pull back as sentiment remains in extreme market fear

The cryptocurrency market is broadly in the red on Tuesday as the Middle East grapples with an escalating war. Bitcoin (BTC) is in a pullback, trading below $67,000 at the time of writing, and most altcoins follow suit.

Middle East conflict ramps up a gear as energy price spike rips through markets

It’s another risk off day as geopolitical headwinds continue to batter financial markets. Although markets calmed during the US session and US stocks managed to post gains on Monday, this has not fed through to the European session, and stocks and bonds are sharply lower for a second day.

Hyperliquid Price Forecast: HYPE rises on commodities demand amid US-Iran war

Hyperliquid (HYPE) steadies above $33 at press time on Tuesday, marking its fourth consecutive day of recovery in a broadly volatile market due to the ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran.
