XAUUSD Intraday Analysis
XAUUSD (1204.17): Gold prices fell sharply on Tuesday as price action closed with a bearish engulfing candlestick. The declines are likely to extend price toward the 1197.50 support in the near term. The reversal comes amid the hidden bearish divergence. As long as price action is supported above 1197.50 gold prices could maintain the bullish outlook. However, a close below this support could send the precious metal's price lower toward 1180.25.
GBPUSD Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD (1.2866): The British pound attempted to test the previous highs but failed to do so. The currency pair turned bearish as it attempts to breakout from the falling price channel. As long as price action remains supported above 1.2808, the GBPUSD is expected to maintain the bullish outlook. A close above the previous high could suggest further gains in the GBPUSD targeting 1.3205. To the downside, below 1.2808 support, GBPUSD could extend the declines to 1.2740.
EURUSD Intraday Analysis
EURUSD (1.1692): The euro rose to a fresh one month high on Tuesday at 1.1733 before partly giving up the gains. Price action briefly tested the resistance level at 1.1730 on the daily session. The rally to the monthly high coincided with the doji pattern on the 4-hour chart with a bearish follow through. A decline could potentially see the euro easing back to 1.1626 where support is likely to be tested in the near term. While price action could maintain its sideways range within the mentioned levels, a break down below 1.1626 could trigger further declines down to 1.1540 level of support. To the upside, a breakout above 1.1730 could push the euro to further gains.
