EUR/USD Price Analysis: Holds above 1.09, charts show failed breakout

EUR/USD's 4-hour chart shows risks are skewed to the downside.
A move above 1.10 is needed to turn the tide in favor of the bulls.

EUR/USD is trading in the green near 1.0918 at press time, having found bids near 1.0890 on Monday.

The path of least resistance is to the downside, as the 4-hour chart is reporting a failed breakout - the spot breached the descending trendline connecting March 8 and March 29 highs last week with a move above 1.0940. So far, however, that has failed to entice buyers, as evidenced by the pullback from 1.0968 to 1.0918.

Further, the 4-hour chart shows a rising wedge breakdown, a bearish reversal pattern, which indicates the corrective bounce from 1.0768 has ended and sellers have regained control.

All in all, risks appear skewed in favor of a drop to 1.0768. A convincing move above 1.10 (4-hour chart 200-candle average) is needed to put the bulls back into the driver's seat.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The GBP/USD pair gains traction to around 1.3520 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar faces some selling pressure against the Cable as tariff uncertainty lingers. Traders will take more cues from the US Producer Price Index report for January, which will be published later on Friday.

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero. Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
