USD/CNH drops towards 6.9300 while defying the three-day winning streak ahead of Wednesday’s European session, down 0.16% intraday to 6.9320 at the latest. In doing so, the offshore Chinese Yuan (CNH) pair reverses from its highest levels in 1.5 months.

That said, a failure to cross the 200-DMA triggered the USD/CNH pair’s pullback move. Adding strength to the retreat is the nearly overbought RSI (14) conditions.

As a result, the quote’s further declines towards an upward-sloping support line from February 02, close to 6.8820 at the latest, can’t be ruled out.

However, the bottom line of the four-month-old symmetrical triangle, between 6.9840 and 6.8465, appears strong hurdles for the USD/CNH pair traders to tackle before suggesting clear moves.

On the flip side, a daily closing beyond the 200-DMA level of 6.9520 could direct the USD/CNH bulls toward the stated triangle’s top line surrounding 6.9840.

It’s worth noting that the USD/CNH bulls need validation from the November 2022 bottom surrounding 7.0200 to retake control whereas multiple levels around the 6.8000 round figure can check the pair sellers past 6.8465.

Overall, USD/CNH is likely to remain within the multi-day-old symmetrical triangle.

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.
