USD/INR is looking to accelerate its upbeat momentum in Europe this Tuesday, despite the broad US dollar retreat, helped by a bullish technical breakout on the hourly chart.

The recent consolidation at the higher levels has carved out a falling wedge formation, with the breakout confirmed on an hourly closing above the falling trendline resistance at 73.81.

The bulls now remain poised to test the pattern target at 74.29. However, the 74 level will likely challenge their commitment on the way northwards.

The hourly Relative Strength Index (RSI) points south but holds above the midline, suggesting a brief pullback before the uptrend resumes.

Therefore, a break below the pattern resistance now support at 73.80 could trigger fresh declines toward the upward-pointing 21-hourly Simple Moving Average (HMA) at 73.76.

Acceptance below the latter could prompt a drop towards the critical 200-HMA support at 73.62.

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.
