EUR/AUD Price Forecast: Surges past 1.6400 eyeing further upside

EUR/AUD climbs 0.38%, successfully crossing both 100-day and 200-day SMAs, indicating strong upward potential.
Next resistance targeted at 1.6600; consolidation likely if buyers secure a daily close above 1.6400.
Support levels to watch are 1.6300 and the 50-day SMA at 1.6260, with further downside risk to 1.6159.

The EUR/AUD rallied above key technical resistance levels, such as the 100—and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) at around 1.6367-79. The cross-currency pair climbed above the 1.6400 figure, posting gains of 0.38% on Thursday during the North American session.

EUR/AUD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Currently, the EUR/AUD trades above 1.6400, which could pave the way for challenging the next resistance level, at 1.6600, the October 31 daily peak. Although bullish momentum increased, as seen by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), buyers face stir resistance, which could pave the way for a consolidation.

Buyers must achieve a daily close above 1.6400 and clear the November 6 daily high of 1.6497 before having a chance of testing 1.6600. Otherwise, sellers could step in and drag the exchange rate toward the 50-day SMA at 1.6260, but first, they need to surpass the 1.6300 mark.

In that outcome, the EUR/AUD's next support would be the December 2 swing low of 1.6159, followed by the 1.6100 mark.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
