AUD/USD 4-hour chart

AUD/USD was trading very well on Wednesday hitting a high of 0.7037 but now the pair has pushed under the psychological 0.70 area once again. The market is trying to push the pair below the intraday support level at the purple line but there is currently some hesitation.

Looking at the 4-hour chart below, the pair is still in an uptrend. The price has been making higher highs and higher lows after breaking out of the consolidation area. If the market is to break lower there are some key support zones the bears will need to break. 0.6919 could be a ticky point if there is to be more USD strength and below that the red support line could also be tested. There is also the 200 Simple Moving Average in the way too.

The indicators are still bullish as the Relative Strength Index trades above the 50 area. The MACD histogram is green and the signal lines are still above zero which indicates the market is still in an uptrend.

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.
