The EUR/USD pair kicked off the week with a sharp decline, falling over 1% and decisively breaking below the psychological 1.0500 mark. This move also pushed the pair further beneath the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) which has acted recently as a strong resistance.

The technical indicators align with the bearish outlook, suggesting that further downside may be in play. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is pointing downward at 37, inching closer to oversold territory but still indicating room for more selling pressure. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram is printing lower green bars, reinforcing the view that bearish momentum is strengthening.

The break below 1.0500 and the technical indicators suggest that the pair is poised for further losses unless a significant reversal catalyst emerges. Traders will be closely watching the 1.0450 and 1.0430 levels for signs of potential stabilization or a continuation toward 1.0400.

US-Iran talks: The next 60 days will decide where Oil prices go next

Oil markets received some encouraging news after weeks of rising tensions in the Middle East. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves: we’re far from victory, and markets just seem to have priced out the worst-case scenario. The US and Iran have reportedly made "substantive progress" in talks in Switzerland and agreed on a framework for working toward a broader deal within 60 days.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
