EUR/USD Price Analysis: Bullish grind towards 1.0600 stays intact

Sustained trading beyond 200-HMA, firmer RSI keeps buyers hopeful.

EUR/USD pares intraday gains inside a bullish megaphone as buyers struggle to extend the previous week’s recovery moves amid a sluggish Asian session on Monday.

Even so, the above-50 status of the RSI (14) joins the major currency pair’s ability to stay beyond the 200-HMA to underpin the bullish bias.

That said, the latest pullback remains elusive until staying beyond the stated megaphone’s support line, near 1.0525.

Also acting as immediate support is an upward sloping trend line from May 13, close to 1.0515, as well as the 200-HMA level of 1.0490.

Meanwhile, 1.0590 and the recent swing high of the 1.0600 may entertain buyers before the weekly resistance line, close to 1.0640 at the latest, will test the upside further.

In a case where EUR/USD remains firmer past 1.0640, the odds favoring the pair’s run-up towards the mid-April low near 1.0755 can’t be ruled out.

EUR/USD remains on the back foot around 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure, hovering around the 1.1700 region in the latter part of the NA session on Monday. The pair’s severe retracement comes as the US Dollar stages a marked bounce on the back of the prevailing flight to safety atmosphere, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

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.
