EUR/USD Forecast: Bulls hesitate but don’t give up

Valeria Bednarik FXStreet

EUR/USD Current Price: 1.1882

EU June Producer Price Index was up by 10.2% YoY, missing the market’s expectations.
The market mood is still sour, but the dollar is out of investors’ radar.
EUR/USD could extend its gains but only once above 1.1920.

The EUR/USD pair trades in the 1.1880 price zone, mildly higher on a daily basis and still confined to familiar ranges. The market’s mood is sour, limiting advances for high-yielding assets. Yet at the same time, the greenback keeps suffering the echoes of a dovish Fed, unattractive even in risk-off scenarios.

European indexes are marginally higher, but US futures aim to open in the red as demand for government bonds persist. Yields ticked higher but remain subdued, with the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note currently around 1.17%.

The EU published the June Producer Price Index, which rose 1.4% MoM as expected. The annual reading printed at 10.2%, below the market’s expectations. The US macroeconomic calendar includes June Factory Orders, the July ISM-NY Business Conditions Index and IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism for August.

EUR/USD short-term technical outlook

The EUR/USD pair is neutral-to-bullish in the near-term but still needs to break above the 1.1920 resistance level to confirm a new leg higher. The 4-hour chart shows that the price keeps hovering around a mildly bullish 20 SMA, which advances above the longer ones. However, technical indicators lack directional strength, the Momentum stuck to its midline and the RSI at around 59.

Support levels: 1.1840 1.1790 1.1750

Resistance levels: 1.1920 1.1960 1.2000

EUR/USD looks sidelined around 1.1850

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, extending its bearish tone and sliding towards the 1.1850 area to print fresh daily lows on Monday. The move lower comes as the US Dollar gathers modest traction, with thin liquidity and subdued volatility amplifying price swings amid the US market holiday.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold battle around $5,000 continues

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise
