The EUR/USD pair extended higher on Friday, pushing into the 1.1400 zone after the European session, as buyers retained control in the broader trend. Despite the advance, underlying momentum remains uncertain, with mixed signals from short-term indicators. The broader technical structure, however, remains constructive, supported by firm positioning of major moving averages that continue to trend upward.

From a technical perspective, the pair is flashing a bullish bias overall. The Relative Strength Index hovers near 59, still neutral but trending higher. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence has turned negative, suggesting fading intraday strength. Meanwhile, the Awesome Oscillator and Stochastic %K remain in neutral territory, reinforcing the current loss of momentum rather than reversing the trend.

Trend confirmation is provided by the moving averages. The 10-day and 30-day Exponential Moving Averages, along with the 20-day, 100-day, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages, all lie below the current price and slope upward, reinforcing the broader bullish structure. These levels continue to provide strong dynamic support, while resistance now begins to build just above the current trading area.

Support is located at 1.1342, 1.1318, and 1.1295. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at 1.1377, with a breakout above this zone potentially opening the door to further gains.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP rebounds on rising on-chain activity

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
