EUR/USD Price Analysis: Fades bounce off 100-SMA below 1.2100

EUR/USD retreats after bouncing off one-week low the previous day.
Short-term resistance line guards immediate upside ahead of the 1.2100 threshold.
Convergence of 50% Fibonacci retracement, 200-SMA becomes the key support.

EUR/USD fails to extend the previous day’s recovery moves beyond 1.2066, easing to 1.2057 amid the initial Asian session on Tuesday. In doing so, the currency major pair fizzles the previous day’s bounce off 100-SMA below a three-day-old resistance line.

It should, however, be noted that the easing bearish bias of MACD and the pair’s sustained trading beyond the key SMA seems to favor EUR/USD buyers in crossing the nearby hurdle around 1.2080.

Following that, the 1.2100 round figure and the previous month’s high near 1.2150 should test the bulls.

Meanwhile, the pair’s declines below the 100-SMA level of 1.2025 can stall near the 1.2000 psychological magnet, if not then the 200-SMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement of March-April upside around 1.1925-20 become the key support to watch.

If at all the EUR/USD drops below 1.1920, odds of the pair’s south-run to an area surrounding 1.1860, including multiple levels marked in early April, 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.
