EUR/USD Price Analysis: Euro bears attack 1.0830 key support ahead of EU/US PMI

EUR/USD remains sidelined after falling the most in a month by reversing from 100-DMA.
One-month-old horizontal support, ascending trend line from late November and downbeat RSI restrict immediate downside of Euro.
200-DMA, five-week-old descending resistance line act as additional trading filters.
Preliminary readings of August month PMIs for the Eurozone, Germany and the US will be important for fresh impetus.

EUR/USD holds lower grounds near 1.0845-50 despite portraying the pre-data inaction amid early Wednesday.

Euro dropped the most since late July while reversing from the 100-DMA the previous day. However, the cautious mood ahead of the preliminary readings of the August month Purchasing Managers Indexes (PMIs) for the Eurozone, Germany and the US restricts the major currency pair’s immediate downside.

Technically, a convergence of the ascending trend line from late November 2022 and a horizontal area comprising lows marked in the last two months, around 1.0835-50, restricts the immediate downside of the Euro pair. Adding strength to the stated support zone is the nearly oversold RSI (14) line, suggesting bottom-picking.

However, the 100-DMA level of 1.0930 can restrict the Euro pair’s corrective bounce, especially amid the bearish MACD signals.

Also challenging the EUR/USD buyers is a downward-sloping resistance line from July 18, close to 1.0955 by the press time.

Following that, the tops marked in February and April, respectively near 1.1035 and 1.095, will be in the spotlight.

Alternatively, a downside break of 1.0835 will need validation from the 200-DMA support of around 1.0800 to convince the EUR/USD bears in challenging May’s bottom surrounding 1.0635.

GBP/USD edges lower below 1.3650, with eyes on US PCE data

GBP/USD trades with a negative bias below 1.3650 in the European session on Wednesday, eroding a part of the previous day's strong gains. The pair, however, remains within striking distance of a six-month top, set last Friday, as traders keenly await the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1650 ahead of key US data

EUR/USD is holding lower ground toward 1.1650 in Wednesday's European session. The US Dollar is recovering modestly amid profit-taking and Middle East uncertainty. US inflation, tracked by the PCE, and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold remains depressed below $4,650 on firmer USD; looks to US PCE for Fed rate outlook

Gold sticks to modest losses below $4,650 heading into the European session, though it lacks bearish conviction and remains confined within the previous day's broader range. The US Dollar regains positive traction amid some repositioning ahead of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index and is seen as weighing on the commodity. Adding to this, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday might offer more cues about the interest rate path.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe: Profit-taking cools last week’s rally

Meme coins, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), are losing their bullish momentum after last week’s double-digit gains. Facing downside pressure amid profit-taking, DOGE and PEPE risk further decline while SHIB holds at a support level.

America’s self‑inflicted trade wound

I’m conflicted about the trade war that the U.S. has started with Canada. Let’s be clear: any representation that Canada has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S. or that they have been treating us badly for years is a bogus characterization. In reality, the shoe is on the other foot. It’s the U.S. that has been behaving badly.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
