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.

    • The story of this squirrel is a story of love and impact of social media. The memecoin has gain popularity, topping many exchange gainers list.
    • The Solana ecosystem continue to provide the best memecoin, with **** and WIF notably turning many into millionaires creating huge buzz on the ecosystem. Despite the hype around projects like Popcat and Goat, which many missed out on, the crypto community is always on the lookout for the next big wave. $MOODENG, inspired by the charming baby hippopotamus Moo Deng, generated huge attention recently especially as many top exchanges listed the meme. In the same trend another meme is currently trending in the industry, $PNUT. Peanut, inspired by a story of a Squirrel. Rescued by Mark Longo in 2017 after losing his mother, Peanut became an Instagram sensation, amassing over 534k followers. However, tragedy struck when state authorities seized Peanut, leading to his euthanization. This event not only raised questions about government overreach but also inspired the creation of $PNUT, serving as both a tribute to Peanut and a satirical take on current events. Buoyed by endorsements from influential figures like Elon Musk, $PNUT has quickly soared past a $100 million market cap, with predictions suggesting it could reach a billion. With listings already on exchanges like Bitget and potential future support from Binance, Could SPNUT be the next top meme on Solana?
