FX snapshot
XAUUSD
Gold has had a sharp correction recently, but the buyers are returning. However, the metal heads are for back-to-back weekly losses.
EURUSD
The pair touched its four-month low as the USD gained.
BTC
Bitcoin held gains as oil prices pulled back. President Trump’s Administration seemed to trigger the crypto rally, commenting on taking the oil market’s measures.
| Pair | Key support | Key resistance | Bias |
| XAUUSD | 5,050 | 5,120 | Corrective |
| EURUSD | 1.14600 | 1.15000 | Bearish |
| BTC | 69,500 | 72,000 | Bullish |
Market sentiment
The current market’s mood can be described as “nervous optimism”. Investors are balancing between risk-off and risk-on stances. Oil remains one of the main market drivers. Meanwhile, XBRUSD hovers around $100. Each day the conflict continues – and by now few doubt it will last at least until the end of March – will increase both the current loss of oil supply and the medium-term supply disruptions.
