EURUSD
The EURUSD pair is trading around 1.0830, following a continued upward trend supported
by the weakening of the US dollar due to recent pessimistic economic data and market uncertainty over tariff policies.
If the pair breaks the 1.0935 level, it is expected to continue its upward trend,
potentially pushing it toward the next target at 1.1212.
However, if a reversal price action appears around 1.0935, we might see a downward correction toward 1.0600.
GBPUSD
The GBPUSD pair has recently experienced a strong bullish move, driven by the strength of the British pound.
The pair trades around 1.2910, supporting the bullish movement’s continuation towards 1.3048.
From there, we may witness a downward correction to 1.2810.
Oil
Oil prices remain under intense bearish pressure due to concerns about the impact of tariffs on global economic growth.
This has driven prices to $66 per barrel, approaching the key support area at $65.30.
If this level is broken and the price closes below it, the downtrend could extend towards the next support level at $61.
However, if the price holds above the current levels and reversal signals appear,
we may see a corrective rebound towards $68.
NASDAQ
The negative impact of tariffs on US stock markets continues.
Still, the NASDAQ index witnessed a bullish correction last Friday following
increased expectations of a US interest rate cut after weak labor market data.
The index closed at 20,201, above the psychological support level of 20,000,
reinforcing the possibility of continued upward correction towards 20,554.
