EUR/USD Price Analysis: Downside alleviated above 1.0155

EUR/USD reverses three daily gains in a row on Monday.
There is an initial resistance at the 7-month line near 1.0160.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD comes under some selling pressure and deflates below the parity region at the beginning of the week.

The pair seems to have embarked on a consolidative range ahead of the key FOMC event on Wednesday. Immediately to the upside comes the interim 55-day SMA at 1.0101 ahead of the key 7-month resistance line, today near 1.0160. A move beyond the latter is needed to mitigate the downside pressure and allow spot to confront the September high at 1.0197 (September 12) ahead of potential extra gains.

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view is expected to prevail as long as it trades below the 200-day SMA at 1.0722.

EUR/USD challenges 1.1800, two-week lows

EUR/USD remains on the defensive, extending its leg lower to the vicinity of the 1.1800 region, or two-week lows, on Tuesday. The move lower comes as the US Dollar gathers further traction ahead of key US data releases, inclusing the FOMC Minutes, on Wednesday.

GBP/USD looks weaker near 1.3500

GBP/USD adds to Monday’s pessimism and puts the 1.3500 support to the test on Tuesday. Cable’s marked pullback comes in response to extra gains in the Greenback while disappointing UK jobs data also collaborate with the offered bias around the British Pound.

Gold loses further momentum, approaches $4,800

Gold recedes to fresh two-week troughs around the $4,800 region per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal builds on Monday’s downtick following a marked rebound in the US Dollar and mixed US Treasury yields across the board.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP upside looks limited amid deteriorating retail demand

The cryptocurrency market extends weakness with major coins including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) trading in sideways price action at the time of writing on Tuesday.

UK jobs market weakens, bolstering rate cut hopes

In the UK, the latest jobs report made for difficult reading. Nonetheless, this represents yet another reminder for the Bank of England that they need to act swiftly given the collapse in inflation expected over the coming months.

Ripple slides to $1.45 as downside risks surge

Ripple edges lower at the time of writing on Tuesday, from the daily open of $1.48, as headwinds persist across the crypto market. A short-term support is emerging at $1.45, but a buildup of bearish positions could further weaken the derivatives market and prolong the correction.
