EUR/USD technical analysis: Bulls follow two-week-old ascending channel

EUR/USD pulls back from 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
Sellers look for entry below 1.0980 comprising channel’s support.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Despite witnessing a pullback from 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of late-August to September month declines, the EUR/USD pair stays inside a short-term rising channel as it trades near 1.1027 during early Monday.

While horizontal support including early-month highs and Friday’s low, around 1.1000, can please intra-day sellers, pair’s further declines need to slip beneath support-line of the two-week-old rising channel, at 1.0980, in order lure bears targeting 1.0950 and 1.0900 rest-points.

Alternatively, pair’s upside clearance of 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, close to 1.1055, may find it hard to cross channel’s resistance-line at 1.1070 now.

If at all bulls manage to conquer 1.1070, last month’s high near 1.1110 and August 25 top surrounding 1.1165 could become their favorites.

GBP/USD drops below 1.3600 after weak UK jobs report

GBP/USD is seeing a fresh selling wave, giving up the 1.3600 level in Tuesday's European trading. The United Kingdom employment data showed worsening labor market conditions, bolstering bets for a BoE interest rate cut next month. This narrative is weighing heavily on the Pound Sterling.

Gold adds to intraday losses as risk-on mood offsets dovish Fed and subdued USD demand

Gold attracts some follow-through selling for the second straight day and dives to over a one-week low, around the $4,858 area, heading into the European session on Tuesday. The commodity, however, quickly recovers to the $4,900 mark as traders opt to await more cues about the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) rate-cut path before placing fresh directional bets.

Pi Network rallies ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network trades above $0.1800 at the time of writing on Tuesday, recording nearly 5% gains so far. On-chain data indicate that large wallet investors, commonly known as whales, have accumulated approximately 4 million PI tokens over the last 24 hours.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

Stellar mixed sentiment caps recovery

Stellar price remains under pressure, trading at $0.170 on Tuesday after failing to close above the key resistance on Sunday. The derivatives metric supports the bearish sentiment, with XLM’s short bets rising among traders and funding rates turning negative.
