The EUR/AUD consolidates below 1.6500 for the second consecutive day and trades at 1.6499, virtually unchanged. The Eurozone is experiencing turbulent moments amid political issues in France and Germany, two of the bloc's largest economies. Although the Euro holds firm, the end of the year keeps traders from opening fresh bets against the shared currency.

EUR/AUD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The EUR/AUD consolidates, forming a ‘doji,’ meaning neither buyers nor sellers are in control. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, though the slope turned flat, meaning the cross would likely remain sideways.

For a bullish resumption, the EUR/AUD first resistance would be the December 11 high at 1.6574. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the 1.6600 figure. Conversely, if EUR/AUD extends its losses below 1.6450, the next support would be the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.6375, followed by the 200-day SMA at 1.6359.
