This section provides an in-depth look at the EUR/USD pair, highlighting significant technical and fundamental influences.

Technical Analysis

  • Trend: Bearish, with key support around 1.0909.
  • Support and Resistance: EUR/USD is trading in a bearish channel with immediate support at 1.0909 and resistance at 1.1200. The pair has been unable to break above this resistance, indicating ongoing downward pressure.
  • Indicators: RSI signals oversold conditions, suggesting possible short-term bullish corrections, while MACD remains bearish, reflecting sustained USD strength.

Fundamental Analysis

  • S. Economy: Strong U.S. job data bolsters the USD, with expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its higher rate stance. Upcoming CPI data is crucial; a stronger-than-expected CPI would support USD further, while a weaker reading could trigger a rally in EUR.
  • Eurozone Factors: Weak economic indicators in Germany and anticipated dovish action by the ECB add pressure on the Euro. Persistent geopolitical risks also drive investors to the USD as a safe-haven asset, keeping EUR/USD bearish.

Forecast

  • Expected Range: Likely to trade between 1.0909 and 1.1200 in the short term.
  • Outlook: The pair could see limited recovery if U.S. CPI data is unexpectedly weak or if the ECB signals stronger action. For now, however, the outlook remains bearish.
