EUR/USD topped near the 1.1175 level and started a fresh decline below 1.1120. USD/JPY is also showing bearish signs and it could continue to move down towards 108.70.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis

Moreover, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near 1.1115 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD. The pair even traded below the 1.1080 support area and formed a low near 1.1064 on FXOpen.
It is currently consolidating losses above the 1.1065 support area. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the 1.1080 level. It represents the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1140 high to 1.1064 low.
On the upside, the main resistance for the bulls is near the 1.1100 area. It also coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1140 high to 1.1064 low.
On the downside, an initial support is near the 1.1065 level. If there are more downsides, EUR/USD could continue to move down towards the 1.1040 and 1.1025 support levels in the coming sessions.

Gold Could Correct Higher While Crude Oil Price Might Decline

Gold price declined recently and broke the key $1,485 support area. Crude oil price is also under pressure and it seems like it could decline below the $56.50 support.
Gold Price Technical Analysis

Recently, gold price made a few attempts to surpass the $1,515 resistance area against the US Dollar. It failed to continue higher and started a fresh decline below the $1,505 and $1,500 support levels.

At the moment, the price is correcting higher above $1,465. It is trading near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,494 high to $1,460 low.
However, there are many hurdles on the upside near the $1,475 and $1,480 levels. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,494 high to $1,460 low is near the $1,477 level to act as a resistance.
There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,480 on the hourly chart of gold. The main resistance is near the $1,485 level, above which the price could start a nice upward move.
On the downside, an initial support is near the $1,460 level. If gold price fails to stay above the $1,460 support, there is a risk of more downsides towards the $1,450 support area.

Therefore, the pair is likely to face a strong resistance near the 1.2820 level. If there is a successful close above the 1.2820 resistance and the 50 hourly SMA, there could be decent gains in the coming sessions.
Conversely, the pair might continue to move down below 1.2780. An immediate support is near the 1.2760 level, below which there is a risk of a drop towards the 1.2720 support.
