​​EUR/USD drops nearly 2% before stabilising

An anticipated Donald Trump US presidential election victory provoked strong gains in the US dollar with EUR/USD bearing the brunt.

The swift fall through the $1.0778-to-$1.0761 support area, now because of inverse polarity a resistance zone, is bearish for the cross with the June lows at $1.0671-to-$1.0666 being eyed.

GBP/USD rejected by resistance

GBP/USD drops like a stone towards its late October low at $1.2844 as Donald Trump is expected to win the 2024 US presidential election. A fall through $1.2844 puts the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.2813 on the map, below which lies the August low at $1.2665.
