The post-FOMC reverberations continue to linger as the dollar strengthens
The greenback is pulling ahead across the board as the post-FOMC reaction looks to be gathering further momentum now in European trading.
EUR/USD is knocked down to 1.1926 as price tracks below its 200-day moving average while GBP/USD is inching closer towards a test of its 100-day moving average @ 1.3933.
But a key chart to watch is perhaps gold as we are seeing price test some key levels too:
Gold took a nosedive yesterday as the Fed quickened rate hike projections, falling below its 200-day moving average (blue line) and now price is starting to track below $1,800.
Of note, the drop calls into question the 50.0 retracement level and the 100-day moving average (red line) near $1,797 and that is the critical support region for gold now.
A break below that is likely to set off a run towards $1,750-70 with ETFs also joining in on the selling after digesting the FOMC meeting from yesterday.
