EURUSD Fails To Breakout Above Resistance At 1.1132<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The common currency made attempts to rise past the 1.1132 price level on Monday.<\/p>\n

However, the gains were quickly erased as the currency was pushed lower.<\/p>\n

EURUSD is likely to confirm the resistance at 1.1132. This opens the downside back to the 1.1000 level.<\/p>\n

But, establishing support here could potentially pave the way for further gains in the medium-term outlook.<\/p>\n

For the moment, the outlook is to the downside but watch for any minor reversals that could quickly form into new support levels.<\/p>

This will keep the medium-term upside bias in view. In the descent to the 1.1000 level, a lower high will validate the correction.<\/p>\n

GBPUSD Pulls Back After Briefly Hitting Resistance At 1.2424<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The GBPUSD currency pair is making steady advances after prices found support near 1.2277.<\/p>\n

The gains saw the British pound aiming for the 1.2424 level. Although the pair managed to rise to this level briefly, it has pulled back.<\/p>\n

We expect sellers to keep a lid on the currency from posting further gains.<\/p>\n

This could mean that GBPUSD will drift lower, albeit supported near 1.2277.<\/p>\n

In the near term, watch for minor support to form near 1.2343.<\/p>\n

A reversal off this level could potentially suggest a breakout above 1.2424.<\/p>\n

WTI Crude Oil Reverses Gains After Rising Above 35.50<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oil prices rose to a two-month high on Monday, briefly rising above 35.50. But prices quickly gave up the gains.<\/p>\n

The retracement will likely see support forming near the 33.66 level. A reversal off this level will support the upside bias.<\/p>\n

Oil prices need to follow through by posting a higher high. Else, this could potentially keep price action subdued but supported above the 35.50 level.<\/p>\n

There is of course the risk of a move lower.<\/p>\n

A close below 33.66 could open the downside risk for a move towards the 27.95 level.<\/p>\n

Given that support hasn\u2019t been tested at this level, the 27.95 remains a prime target.<\/p>\n

XAUUSD Higher At The Open, But Fails To Build Up Momentum<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gold prices opened higher on Monday, but price action has failed to make any major gains.<\/p>\n

We expect to see a flat close which could potentially suggest the downside building up. This also coincides with the lower high that is currently forming.<\/p>\n

In the near term, the lower support at 1717.65 might be able to stall the precious metal from declining further.<\/p>\n

This potentially puts the gold price to move into a sideways range, unless there is a strong breakout lower.<\/p>\n
