EUR/USD Price Forecast: Bulls hold the grip

Valeria Bednarik FXStreet

EUR/USD Current price: 1.1374

United States markets will remain closed on holidays, market moving on sentiment.
The Federal Open Market Committee will release the Minutes of the May meeting on Wednesday.
EUR/USD eases from a fresh multi-week peak, downside potential seems limited.

The EUR/USD pair advanced towards 1.1420 on Monday amid persistent US Dollar (USD) weakness on the back of renewed trade tensions. United States (US) President Donald Trump threatened a "straight 50% tariff" on imports from the European Union (EU), after stating their discussions were going nowhere. The levies were to be imposed starting June 1, although Trump announced on Sunday an extension until July 9 after a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The USD recovered some ground during European trading hours, with EUR/USD hovering at around 1.1370 early in the American session.

A holiday in the US and Canada will keep market action contained until the next Asian opening. In the meantime, the macroeconomic calendar has nothing relevant to offer until Wednesday, when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will release the Minutes of the May meeting. The document should not bring surprises, and hence, had a limited impact on the USD.

Comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials, on the other hand, could be a bit more interesting should they change their usual wording towards future action. Still, such a scenario seems unlikely, moreover, after Trump’s threats on fresh levies.

EUR/USD short-term technical outlook

From a technical point of view, the daily chart for the EUR/USD pair holds on to modest intraday gains, offering a neutral-to-bullish stance. The pair develops well above a pretty much flat 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA), providing support at around 1.1270. At the same time, the 100 SMA is crossing above the 200 SMA in the 1.0810 region, reflecting bulls’ dominance. Finally, the Momentum indicator is stuck around its 010 line, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator aims north at around 59, supportive of another leg higher.

In the near term, and according to the 4-hour chart, EUR/USD lost upward momentum, although a steeper decline remains out of the picture. The pair develops above all its moving averages, which maintain their bullish slopes. Technical indicators, in the meantime, ease within positive levels, with limited downward strength.

Support levels: 1.1330 1.1270 1.1240

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold hits fresh three-month low below $4,000 amid surging energy prices

Gold slides to a fresh three-month low at $3,986.74 in the Asian trade on Friday. The precious metal faces intense selling pressure, following a consolidation breakdown that took place on the range between $4,227.90 and $4,066.64 in the past three weeks.

Cardano: Whale selling deepens correction

Cardano (ADA) edges higher by nearly 2% on Friday, following a roughly 6% decline the previous day. The pullback aligns with the sell-side appeal among large-wallet investors, commonly referred to as whales, and Cardano derivatives. The technical outlook for ADA is bearish, with downside momentum persisting. Whales are losing their appetite for holding ADA tokens, fueling near-term selling pressure.

The Bank of England just got its clearest reason to hike. Here's what it's really watching

UK inflation as measured by the CPI accelerated to 3.5% YoY in September, up from 3.1% in August, according to the Office for National Statistics. This is the highest level since October 2025, exceeding economists' expectations of 3.4% and pushing inflation further from the BoE's 2% target.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
