USD/RUB Price Analysis: Eyes further losses on break of five-week-old support

  • USD/RUB consolidates recent losses around weekly low, remains below the key support trend line.
  • Bearish MACD, trend line break directs bears towards 50-DMA.
  • 21-DMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level restrict recovery moves.

USD/RUB consolidates weekly losses around 98.25, up 1.55% intraday during Thursday’s Asian session.

The Russian ruble pair dropped to the lowest in one week after breaking an ascending trend line from mid-February.

As the trend line breakdown joins bearish MACD signals, the USD/RUB prices are likely to fade the latest corrective pullback.

Hence, the 50-DMA surrounding 91.40 and the 90.00 threshold gain the seller’s attention ahead of the last monthly bottom near 75.00.

Alternatively, further recovery needs to cross the previous support line, close to 102.15 at the latest, to convince buyers.

Even so, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of February-march upside, around 105.00, will precede the 21-DMA figures close to 111.25 to challenge the USD/RUB bulls.

EUR/USD extends its gains for the second successive session, trading around 1.1780 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. On the daily chart, technical analysis indicates a persistent bullish bias, as the pair moves upward within the ascending channel pattern. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index at 68.89 sits near overbought, signaling strong demand. RSI remains elevated, which could cap gains if overbought conditions emerge.

GBP/USD knocks ten-week highs ahead of holiday slowdown

GBP/USD found room on the high side on Monday, kicking off a holiday-shortened trading week with a fresh spat of Greenback weakness, bolstering the Pound Sterling into its highest bids in ten weeks. Pound traders are largely brushing off the latest interest rate cut from the Bank of England as the UK’s central bank policy strategy leaves the water murky for rate-cut watchers.

Gold bulls seem unstoppable amid supportive fundamental backdrop

Gold is seen building on the previous day's strong rally of over 2% and continues scaling new all-time highs for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. The commodity climbs closer to the $4,500 psychological mark during the Asian session and remains well supported by a combination of factors. 

Uniswap holds above $6 as traders eye UNIfication vote outcome

On the technical side, momentum indicators are flashing bullish signals, hinting at an upside rally.

Ten questions that matter going into 2026

2026 may be less about a neat “base case” and more about a regime shift—the market can reprice what matters most (growth, inflation, fiscal, geopolitics, concentration). The biggest trap is false comfort: the same trades can look defensive… right up until they become crowded.

XRP steadies above $1.90 support as fund inflows and retail demand rise

Ripple (XRP) is stable above support at $1.90 at the time of writing on Monday, after several attempts to break above the $2.00 hurdle failed to materialize last week. Meanwhile, institutional interest in the cross-border remittance token has remained steady.
