EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Descending trendline to keep the Euro pinned near 1.1460

The previous twenty-four hours of chart activity has the EUR/USD testing into Friday's highs near 1.1535, but the pair's bullish momentum continues to see downside risks as the 50-period moving average keeps the pair from running ahead of itself, and the supporting 200-period moving average is beginning to draw prices back into its trap.
EUR/USD analysis: more uncertainty ahead

EUR/USD, M5

The last week has seen the Fiber take a step lower, slipping beneath a previous support level at the 1.1535 region, and resistance is beginning to pile up as the 200-period moving average crosses below the key resistance barrier.

EUR/USD, M30

Over the past month the EUR/USD has slipped from a peak just shy of the 1.1800 major handle, facing declines all the way into 1.1433, and despite support from the 1.1460 zone, the pair has been unable to retake the 38.2% Fibo retracement level of the Fiber's decline, currently sitting at 1.1570, just beyond the declining trendline, currently plotted in as resistance near 1.1550.

EUR/USD keeps the offered stance just above 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.

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 trims losses, back below $5,400

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
