EUR/USD Price Analysis: Euro hits lowest level since April 2017

The weekly candle indicate the path of least resistance is to the downside.
Short-term oversold conditions suggest scope for a corrective bounce.

EUR/USD breached support at 1.0839 a few minutes before press time and fell to 1.0827, the lowest levels since April 2017.

The bearish trend looks quite strong with the weekly candle carrying little or no wicks, similar to last week's big bearish "marubozu" candle.

That said, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is now reporting oversold conditions and the hourly chart RSI is printing higher lows, contradicting lower lows on price (bullish divergence).

As a result, a corrective bounce may be seen before further declines toward levels below 1.08.

An oversold bounce, if any, could challenge the former hourly chart support-turned-resistance of 1.0865, above which the focus would shift to the descending or bearish 50-hour average at 1.0880.

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 as traders await RBA rate decision

AUD/USD extends its consolidative price move through the Asian session on Tuesday, trading just above 0.7000 ahead of the RBA rate decision.

USD/JPY consolidates near 157.50 as a bullish USD counters intervention risks

USD/JPY struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from a one-week low, consolidating around mid-157.00s during the Asian session on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, rising Fed rate-hike bets and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year highs, keeping the US Dollar pinned near a two-month high and supporting spot prices.

Moreover, geopolitical risks help the US Dollar stand firm near a two-month high, which, in turn, favors XAU/USD bears.
