EUR/USD Current price: 1.1585

Contradictory messages from US President Trump about China do not affect the market’s upbeat mood.
Different Fed officials will do public appearances, but no comments on monetary policy are expected.
EUR/USD nears October base in the 1.1540 area, with an increased bearish potential.

The EUR/USD pair extends its weekly slide on Wednesday, currently trading at around 1.1580. In the absence of relevant news, the US Dollar (USD) continues to benefit from increased hopes of de-escalating tensions between the United States (US) and China. At the same time, tepid European progress keeps the Euro (EUR) subdued.

US President Donald Trump kept delivering contradictory messages, saying he thinks he will have a very successful meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, he also stated: “Maybe it won’t happen. Things can happen where, for instance, maybe somebody will say, ‘I don’t want to meet, it’s too nasty.’ But it’s really not nasty, it’s just business.” Market players don’t seem to be concerned about Trump’s latest words.

Throughout the first half of the day, several European Central Bank (ECB) officials hit the wires, including President Christine Lagarde. However, none of them specifically referenced monetary policy, resulting in no price action. In the American afternoon, Federal Reserve (Fed) officials will be on the wires, yet given that they are in the blackout period prior to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) monetary policy decision, no relevant comments are to be expected.

EUR/USD short-term technical outlook

The daily chart for the EUR/USD pair shows its trading in the red for a fourth consecutive day and pressuring fresh weekly lows. Technically speaking, the risk of a downward extension has increased, as the pair develops below its 20 and 100 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), with the shorter one about to cross below the longer one, both now in the 1.1650 region. Other than that, technical indicators maintain their downward slopes within negative levels, favoring lower lows ahead.

The 4-hour chart shows that technical indicators lost their downward strength near oversold readings, but give no signs of downward exhaustion. At the same time, EUR/USD is developing below all its moving averages, with the 20 SMA gaining bearish strength below the longer ones, reflecting increased selling interest. The pair bounced sharply from the 1.1540 a couple of times in the last few weeks, making of the region a relevant support area. Once below it, the pair could extend its slide towards the 1.1470 region, a long-term static support area.

Support levels: 1.1540 1.1510 1.1470

Resistance levels: 1.1650 1.1690 1.1740

AUD/USD bulls seem hesitant below 0.7050 ahead of RBA on Tuesday

AUD/USD reverses an Asian session dip on Monday as renewed optimism over Iran diplomacy boosts investor confidence, keeping a lid on the safe-haven US Dollar and supporting the risk-sensitive Aussie. Spot prices, however, remain below the one-month high, touched last Thursday, as bulls wait for the crucial RBA decision before taking fresh positions.

USD/JPY climbs to 158.00 neighborhood as BoJ uncertainty weighs on the JPY

The USD/JPY pair gains some positive traction at the start of a new week, recovering further from Friday's post-Bank of Japan (BoJ) swing low to sub-157.00 levels. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 158.00 neighborhood during the Asian session and seems unaffected by fresh intervention warning from Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama.

Gold finds relief from Oil’s decline as traders await key US economic data

Gold retains a positive bias during American trading hours on Monday after sliding to a fresh yearly low of $3,870 on Friday and ending October down 6.87%. A pullback in Oil prices amid diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran supports the precious metal. However, the rebound lacks conviction as the fundamental backdrop continues to raise doubts over a sustained recovery.

Dogecoin risks deeper slide as whales diverge

Dogecoin hovers around $0.075 on Monday after falling for the fifth consecutive week since the end of September. Santiment data shows diverging whale activity, as large holders reduce their positions while smaller whale wallets accumulate tokens. Meanwhile, weakening on-chain metrics and a deteriorating technical outlook suggest that DOGE could remain vulnerable to further losses.

Why strong US growth could not stop the bond rally and AI selloff

The US economy grew at a 3.4% annual rate, yet Treasury yields fell and the Nasdaq ended October with its worst monthly performance since March 2025. The market is no longer rewarding capital expenditure simply because it supports growth. Investors are testing whether that expenditure can produce cash flow and returns above the cost of capital.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
