EUR/USD
EUR/USD – Below 1.0710 and Narrowband Image Dominates…
The pair started the new week below the 1.0710 level. The parity, which moves in a very narrow band during the day, is trying to find support at the 1.0655 level. In general, as long as it stays below 1.0780 in the short term, it is possible to feel the movements in favor of the dollar. We will watch 1.0710 as resistance in the short time interval during the day in possible attacks. A move above 1.0710 could make 1.0780 a target.
However, 1.0780 is an important resistance within a few days of movement.
XAU/USD
XAU/USD – Negative Trend Continues, But Beware of Possibility of Positive Dissonance…
The yellow metal extended its decline to 1852 support after running the inverted flag image it created last week. Just above here, the 1865 resistance was tested but not surpassed and the overall downtrend continues. Due to the reverse flag formation length, if the resistance of 1865 is not exceeded, it is possible for the declines to deepen. There is a point here that should not be overlooked. It is the positive divergence in the RSI indicator on the four-hour chart. However, we can wait for the RSI to surpass its 50 level for this dissonance to be triggered strongly.
So, for possible strong reactions, we need to confirm 1865 and RSI to exceed their 50 level.

USD/JPY
USD/JPY – Where It Tested Last Monday…
The gradual rise in US 2-year and 10-year bond yields continues to put pressure on the Japanese Yen. The pair came back to the level of 133.00, where it made contact with the gap last week, with a slight attack today. Exceeding 133.00 can show us the rises. For this, 134.50 and 138.05 levels may come to the fore.
133.00 is important because it worked as a resistance last week, and we will follow the 130.60 level as support in new sales that may come from here.
