On Monday, gold prices failed to sustain an upward movement beyond the $2,375 mark, resulting in a decline below $2,350. This movement suggests a possible test of lower support levels, primarily around $2,280, which aligns with the 50-day simple moving average and recent lows. Should this support level fail, the next target for sellers could be $2,260.
Conversely, a recovery above $2,350 could indicate renewed buying interest, potentially challenging the resistance at the dynamic trendline near $2,365. A break above this could set the stage for further advances towards $2,420 and $2,430.
The EUR/USD pair showed positive momentum on Monday by moving above the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages near 1.0785.

This breakout might lead to further advances, with immediate resistance located between 1.0805 and 1.0810. A successful breach of this zone could pave the way to the 1.0865 level, which represents the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the 2023 selloff.
On the downside, if the pair falls below the recently surpassed moving averages, it could signal weakening bullish momentum. This could potentially drive prices towards the support levels at 1.0725 and further to 1.0695. Extended losses might see the pair descending to the May low at 1.0650.
The USD/JPY pair continues to exhibit an upward trend, currently sustaining levels above 156.00. This trajectory could face resistance at 158.00, followed by 160.00. However, traders should remain cautious of possible continued interventions by Japanese monetary authorities.

Should the pair experience a pullback, support might be found at 154.65. A fall below this level could extend losses towards 153.15, with further downside possibly testing support near the trendline and 50-day simple moving average at 152.50.
