GBP/USD Price Analysis: Recovery remains doubtful below 200-DMA

GBP/JPY keeps bounce off February lows, picks up bids of late.
Poised for further downside as bearish MACD backs monthly support line, 200-DMA breaks.
September 2020 peak, yearly low on bears’ radars.

GBP/USD picks up bids to 1.3630, consolidate losses around a five-month low, amid Wednesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the cable pair confronts previous support stretched from June while keeping the downside break of 200-DMA amid bearish MACD.

Given the little distance from the key support and a lack of trend reversal suggesting catalysts, the quote is likely to extend the south-run towards the yearly low of 1.3451.

However, September 2020 high near 1.3480 can offer an intermediate halt during the fall whereas fresh selling could take place below the latest low, also teased in February surrounding 1.3570-65.

Meanwhile, a clear break of the previous support line near 1.3640 won’t recall the GBP/USD buyers as a 200-DMA level of 1.3705 could test the bulls.

Also likely to challenge the recovery movement is the May month’s low near 1.3800 and the monthly high close to 1.3910.

Overall, GBP/USD bears are catching a breather but not out of the woods.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The GBP/USD pair gains traction to around 1.3520 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar faces some selling pressure against the Cable as tariff uncertainty lingers. Traders will take more cues from the US Producer Price Index report for January, which will be published later on Friday.

Gold eyes a daily closing above key 61.8% Fibo resistance

Gold is adding over 1% early Monday, after having gained 2% on Friday. The bright metal scales key technical hurdles, as buyers stay strong amid renewed tariffs and economic uncertainty alongside looming US-Iran geopolitical tensions.

Top Crypto Losers: Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero extended losses as Bitcoin loses $65,000

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero. Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
