FXStreet Team FXStreet

EUR/USD has seen a fresh and aggressive rejection of resistance at 1.1369 – the 38.2% retracement of the entire 2018/2020 bear trend – to reassert the sideways range with support seen at 1.1258/54, per Credit Suisse.

Key quotes

“Below support at 1.1258/54 would see an in-range top complete to keep the immediate risk lower in the range with support seen next at 1.1219, then back at the range lows and 38.2% retracement of the rally from late April, starting at 1.1185 and stretching down to 1.1157. Whilst we would look for a fresh attempt to hold here, a break can see weakness extend to test the 38.2% retracement of the entire rally from March at 1.1122, but with better buyers expected to show here.”

“Resistance is seen at 1.1305 initially, then 1.1317, back above which can see strength back to 1.1349/71. Beyond here remains needed to resolve the range higher, with resistance then seen next and initially at 1.1399.”

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

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.
