EUR/USD Technical Analysis: The pair remains supported by the 200-day/week SMAs

EUR/USD is extending the multi-session sideline theme after being rejected from 3-month tops beyond 1.1400 the figure on Tuesday.
Firm support appeared, however, around the mid-1.1300s, where sit the 200-day/week SMAs. The resumption of the bull run should meet initial hurdle at this week’s peak near 1.1420 ahead of the more relevant 1.1450, or March tops.
This important hurdle is considered the last defence for a visit of 2019 highs in the 1.1550/70 band.
Of note, however, is the bearish ‘outside day’ charted yesterday, which could be a prologue for a move lower in the next days, particularly if spot fails to re-test/surpass recent tops above 1.1400.

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.

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
