Today's market developments offer tactical scenarios to monitor closely. EUR/USD is under pressure after breaking a significant short-term support, crude oil prices confront a decisive resistance zone, while gold trades within a corrective phase inside its broader bullish framework. Below are outlined potential market scenarios based on margin zone analysis and technical setups, to help traders understand key price action dynamics.
USCrude Scenario: Resistance Zone at 69.81–69.37 Crucial
Crude oil is currently trading near an essential short-term resistance zone between 69.81 and 69.37. If price action struggles at these levels and fails to close decisively higher during today's U.S. session, sellers could regain momentum. In this scenario, oil prices may retreat initially toward the level of 67.40, with further downside potential towards the March low around 65.00.
Alternatively, should oil prices break clearly above 69.81 and close firmly higher in today's U.S. session, it would signify a reversal of the recent bearish structure. Under such conditions, market sentiment could shift bullishly, potentially guiding prices upwards toward the next significant resistance target zone between 73.79 and 72.99.
Gold (XAUUSD) Scenario: Correction Approaching Important Support Zone
Gold prices continue to trade within a corrective movement inside a broader short-term uptrend, nearing an important support area located between 2990 and 2983. If this support region holds steady, buyers may see it as a significant zone to stabilize prices, potentially targeting an upward movement towards the initial resistance around 3020, with additional bullish potential towards recent highs near 3057.
Conversely, if gold fails to sustain prices within the 2990–2983 support area and experiences a decisive downward break, a deeper correction could unfold, moving towards the secondary support zone located between 2956 and 2946. This lower region represents a key boundary for the existing bullish trend, serving as another potential area of stabilization and renewed buying interest.
EURUSD Scenario: Critical Short-Term Levels in Focus
EUR/USD experienced a critical breach of its short-term support zone at 1.0798–1.0783 yesterday, raising concerns about the sustainability of its recent bullish bias. Today’s price action is essential in determining whether the breakdown was genuine or a false signal. If the currency pair recovers and closes firmly above the 1.0798 mark during the U.S. session, it could indicate yesterday’s bearish move was invalid, potentially paving the way for a renewed upward momentum toward the initial resistance at 1.0868, and potentially higher towards March’s peak around 1.0954.
However, if today's price action confirms yesterday’s bearish break, with EUR/USD closing clearly below 1.0783 during the U.S. session, this would suggest a reversal of the short-term bullish structure. In such a case, market participants might anticipate further downside potential, with prices likely gravitating towards the lower support target area between 1.0642 and 1.0611 in subsequent sessions.
Traders should carefully observe these critical support and resistance levels and monitor today's U.S. session closing prices, which will offer crucial insights into short-term market direction.
