EUR/USD Price Analysis: A drop below 1.0760 exposes further losses

EUR/USD picks up further downside traction near 1.0750.
Losses could accelerate below the 3-month line near 1.0760.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD extends the corrective decline for the third consecutive session and flirts with the 1.0750 region at the beginning of the week.

A convincing breakdown of the 3-month support line around 1.0760 could open the door to extra weakness in the short-term horizon. Against that, there is an interim support at the 55-day SMA at 1.0655 prior to the 2023 low at 1.0481 (January 6).

In the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0318.

AUD/USD retains its negative bias for the third straight day, trading around 0.7120 and close to a three-week low during the Asian session on Wednesday. The US Dollar stands firm near a two-week high as the anticipated Fed rate hike and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to a multi-year high.

USD/JPY remains below 155.50 as bulls await the key Fed decision

Oil-driven inflation fears, along with the anticipated Fed rate hike, continue to support surging US bond yields. Moreover, rising US-Iran tensions underpin the USD's reserve currency status. Spot prices, however, remain below the mid-155.00s as bulls seem hesitant ahead of the Fed decision later today and the BoJ meeting, starting on Thursday.

Ethereum continues to attract capital despite impending rate hike and Clarity Act failure

Ethereum declined to $2,400 on Tuesday after the Clarity Act failed to progress in the Senate.

Ethereum buyers have been dominating sellers over the past few days.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
