EUR/USD: Level to watch is 1.1955 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Strong momentum continues to suggest a higher Euro (EUR); it remains to be seen if it can break above 1.1915. In the longer run, the risk is for EUR to continue to rise; the level to watch is 1.1955, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

The risk is for EUR to continue to rise

24-HOUR VIEW: "EUR rose and closed at 1.1760 two days ago. Yesterday, we indicated that 'the buildup in momentum is likely to continue to carry EUR higher.' However, we noted that 'it is unclear for now whether there is sufficient momentum for EUR to break above the major resistance at 1.1790.' EUR not only broke above 1.1790, but also surpassed the early Jul peak of 1.1830, reaching a high of 1.1878. While the sharp rally appears excessive, strong momentum continues to suggest a higher EUR today. That said, it remains to be seen if EUR can break above the next resistance at 1.1915. On the downside, support levels are at 1.1840 and 1.1810."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "After expecting EUR to trade in a range of 1.1650/1.1790 for more than a week, we highlighted yesterday (16 Sep, spot at 1.1765) that 'upward momentum is starting to build, and the odds of EUR breaking above 1.1790 are increasing and will continue to increase as long as EUR holds above 1.1715 (‘strong support’ level).' We also highlighted that 'a clear break above 1.1790 will shift the focus to 1.1830.' While the adjustment to our view was timely, we did not anticipate EUR would take off and break above both 1.1790 and 1.1830, as it soared to a high of 1.1878. Having surpassed the strong resistance levels, the is risk for EUR to continue to rise. The level to watch is 1.1955. We will maintain our positive stance as long as EUR holds above 1.1760 (‘strong support’ level was at 1.1715 yesterday)."

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.
