EUR/GBP struggles to recover from a two-week low while taking rounds to 0.8585 during Friday’s Asian trading session. In doing so, the cross-currency pair keeps the previous day’s downside break of an ascending trend line from early April.

Given the downward sloping RSI and the sustained support break, EUR/GBP can extend the latest fall towards 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of April’s upside, near 0.8565.

With this, the quote will be able to confirm the bearish crossover between 21-day SMA and 50-day SMA, which in turn could help the sellers to attack the monthly bottom around 0.8560.

Meanwhile, a corrective pullback beyond the stated support line, now resistance close to 0.8600, will have a tough time cracking the 0.8625 confluence including the stated SMAs and 50% Fibonacci retracement level.

In a case where the EUR/GBP prices rally beyond 0.8625, bulls can the latest swing high of 0.8670 will be crossed in search of the 0.8700 threshold.

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.
