EUR/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/USD mixed as war in Ukraine rages on


Recommended Posts

EUR/USD and GBP/USD try to recover while EUR/GBP stays side-lined amid ongoing crisis in Eastern Europe.

 

EUR/USD stays above key support, awaiting Russia-Ukraine developments

EUR/USD remains above the May 2019, January and current February lows at $1.1122 to $1.1106 despite the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. While this support zone continues to hold, the early January and mid-February lows at $1.1272 to $1.128 may be revisited.

Provided that the cross remains below its one-month downtrend line and the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.1302 to $1.1324, the February downtrend is intact. A drop trough $1.1106 would have longer-term bearish implications with the April 2020 low at $1.1019 and the minor psychological $1.10 mark being targeted.

EUR/GBP side-lined amid ongoing geo-political turmoil

Last week, EUR/GBP touched and then rallied from major support, containing the January and early-February lows at £0.8305 to £0.8286, to £0.8408 before slipping back as Russia attacked Ukraine.

Further sideways trading between these two extremes is to be seen in the days to come. Minor resistance can be spotted along the 55-day SMA at £0.8386 as well as at Friday’s high at £0.8408 with the 11 January low at £0.8324 offering minor support.

GBP/USD continues to recover from last week’s two-month low

GBP/USD continues to gradually recover from last week’s sharp sell-off to $1.3273 in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As long as yesterday’s low at $1.3342 holds, the mid-February low and 55-day SMA at $1.3487 to $1.3504 should be in focus but may cap.

Further up the 2021 to 2022 downtrend line, current February high and 200-day SMA can be spotted at $1.3643 to $1.3666. Only a currently unexpected fall through last week’s $1.3273 low, would put the December trough at $1.3163 back on the map.

    • As the cryptocurrency space evolves, Bitget keeps bringing up worthwhile initiatives to make crypto trading interesting and easy for its users as well as helping them maximise profit.  Gleaning from the likes of Candybomb to PoolX and the likes, the CEX has been seen to steadily provide these services. The PRE MARKET trade seems to be the newest product on the block right now. It is an over the counter trading platform that specialises in providing a pre-traded marketplace for new coins before official listing.  Simply put, it is a p2p framework of some sort that facilitates trading between buyers and sellers enabling them to acquire coins at optimal price thus enhancing advance liquidity and complete delivery at a mutually agreed upon time.  The interesting thing about the Pre Market is that; it allows the advocates or supporters of newly launched projects to trade through a contract before the token goes mainstream or before being airdropped.  This framework is very good for projects that have very high speculation, speculative traders should check out this product.  Good thing is the Pre trade is already live, you can leverage on it to purchase $MERL before its official listing, you could get to earn massive ROI. Here's the link; https://www.bitget.com/pre-market/MERLUSDT
    • Atomic Wallet is experiencing issues with their staking and rewards, so I would like to transfer my ATOMs to another crypto wallet. I contacted Atomic Wallet Support and they recommended Cosmostation Wallet and gave me instructions on how to do this. I followed the links they sent me, which required me to fill in my seed phrase. My ATOMs transferred to Cosmostation Wallet but were immediately transferred out. I never made that transaction. I contacted Cosmostation Wallet Support and asked them what happened. They informed me that I must have been talking to a scammer posing as support from Atomic Wallet. I contacted Atomic Wallet and they said I wasn't talking to a scammer and those links are legit. I lost my funds because my PC must be infected. Atomic Wallet wouldn't outright scam me would they?  
    • With the recent surge in "Cat Coins," a wave of playfulness and intrigue is sweeping the crypto community. KHAI, a meme token built on the Solana blockchain, is at the forefront of this movement. Fueled by a bullish community sentiment, KHAI has experienced a staggering 15.27% price increase in the past 24 hours, pushing its market cap to a noteworthy 24.4 million dollars. This impressive growth comes on top of a remarkable 94.3% price jump over the past week, significantly outperforming both the global market and other Solana-based cryptocurrencies. Could KHAI be the next big memecoin to reach unprecedented heights? Its recent listing on the Bitget exchange, accompanied by a giveaway event, certainly adds fuel to the fire. However, the question remains: will this newfound attention propel KHAI to even greater heights, or will it succumb to the volatility often associated with memecoins? Only time will tell.
