EUR/USD Price Analysis: Attention shifts to 2020 low at 1.0635

EUR/USD extends the downside to the sub-1.0800 area.
Extra losses should see the YTD low at 1.0635 retested in the near term.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD is accelerating the decline following the recent breakdown of the key support at the 1.1000 neighbourhood, and the 1.0990 region, where coincide the 55-day SMA and the January’s low.

Immediately to the downside emerges the February low at 1.0777. If cleared, then a visit to the 2020 low at 1.0635 should return to the investors’ radar.

The selling pressure is expected to mitigate above the 200-day SMA and recent tops in the mid-1.1100s.

EUR/USD is giving some signs of life in the aftermath of two severe days of losses on Wednesday, reclaiming the 1.1600 hurdle and above on the back of the resurgence of a mild selling bias around the US Dollar. Moving forward, the usual US weekly Claims will take centre stage on Thursday ahead of Friday’s crucial NFP data.

Gold benefits from a retreating USD; reduced Fed rate cut bets cap gains

Gold attracts some buyers for the second consecutive day on Thursday amid a modest US Dollar pullback from an over three-month high, though it remains below the $5,200 mark. Wednesday's upbeat US macro data further tempered hopes for three rate cuts by the Fed in 2026.
