After the European session on Monday, EUR/USD was seen trading near the mid-1.13/1.14 area, maintaining a positive tone on the day with a modest gain. Despite the RSI holding a neutral stance and the MACD flashing a sell signal, the broader technical setup remains tilted to the upside. Momentum indicators and key moving averages continue to back the bullish view, while immediate support and resistance levels define a well-contained range around the recent action.

The pair's technical picture shows a mixed but overall constructive bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits around 63, suggesting a neutral tone without strong overbought or oversold conditions. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator points to a slight bearish divergence, contrasting with the Momentum indicator, which leans positively, and the Bull Bear Power indicator that remains flat.

However, the main bullish conviction stems from the positioning of moving averages. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is aligned around 1.1208, comfortably below the current spot, while the 100-day and 200-day SMAs, at 1.0651 and 1.0771 respectively, further validate the bullish case. Additionally, the 10-day and 30-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) stationed around 1.1341 and 1.1130 respectively, keep reinforcing the positive outlook.

In terms of levels to watch, immediate support is found at 1.1354, followed closely by 1.1341 and deeper at 1.1230. On the upside, resistance awaits at 1.1380, which if cleared could open the door for further gains toward the upper parts of the recent trading range.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
