The EUR/USD pair edged higher on Monday, trading around the 1.1300 zone following the European session. Price action stayed confined within the mid-range of the day’s movement, reflecting a steady grind higher rather than an impulsive breakout. While some momentum indicators suggest consolidation, the broader trend remains clearly bullish, backed by firm alignment across key moving averages.

Technically, EUR/USD continues to flash a bullish overall signal. The Relative Strength Index is neutral near 58, showing moderate momentum without overbought conditions. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence flashes a sell signal, which tempers immediate bullish expectations, while the Ultimate Oscillator and Awesome Oscillator also remain in neutral territory. These readings highlight a possible pause in short-term momentum, though they don’t reverse the broader trend.

The core bullish bias is driven by moving averages. The 20-day, 100-day, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages lie below the current price and point upward, providing a firm technical base. Supporting this outlook further are the 30-day Exponential and Simple Moving Averages, which continue to rise and align with the short-to-medium term uptrend.

Support levels are found at 1.1314, 1.1287, and 1.1279. Resistance lies at 1.1331 and 1.1353. A sustained move above resistance could expose further bullish extension, while a drop below the nearest support would likely lead to a brief retest of recent lows.

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.
