EUR/USD alternates gains with losses on Friday, now dropping to the negative territory after the failed attempt to advance beyond daily highs near 1.1870.

Next on the upside appears the 1.19 neighbourhood. If cleared, it could pave the wave for an initial test of recent peaks near 1.1920 ahead of the August top at 1.1965. On the flip side, the 1.1740 region, or monthly lows, remains the magnet for sellers ahead of the more relevant contention zone around 1.17, where converge late August lows and a Fibo level (of the 2017-2018 rally). The 55-day SMA, today at 1.1713, also reinforces this critical juncture.

Looking at the broader scenario, the bullish view on EUR/USD is expected to remain unchanged as long as the pair trades above the critical 200-day SMA, today at 1.1220.

EUR/USD hits fresh 2026 lows near 1.1570

EUR/USD adds to Monday’s heavy losses and reaches new yearly lows around 1.1570 on Tuesday. The pair’s deep pullback comes as the US Dollar extend its strong bounce, always propped up by the intense flight-to-safety environment amid the deteriorating geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold meets buyers around $5,000, remains under pressure

Gold comes under renewed and marked selling pressure on Tuesday, dangerously approaching the critical $5,000 mark per troy ounce, reversing at the same time four consecutive daily advances. The yellow metal’s bearish tone comes on the back of the increasing demand for the Greenback and investors’ repricing of Fed rate cuts.
