EUR/USD Price Analysis: Grinds higher past 100, 200 HMA confluence

EUR/USD prints three-day uptrend as it seesaws around intraday top.
MACD teases buyers but rising wedge formation challenges upside momentum.
One-week-old horizontal support adds to the downside filters.

EUR/USD stays defensive around 1.0645, portraying a three-day winning streak amid a sluggish Wednesday morning in Europe.

In doing so, the major currency pair justifies the previous bounce off the key Hourly Moving Averages (HMAs) inside a short-term rising wedge bearish chart formation.

It’s worth noting that the impending bull cross on the MACD and the quote’s sustained trading beyond the 100 and 200-HMA confluence, near 1.0620, keep the EUR/USD buyers hopeful.

Also favoring the EUR/USD bulls is the quote’s U-turn from the 1.0580-75 horizontal support area.

However, a rejection of the three-day-old rising wedge is necessary for the pair buyer’s conviction. As a result, successful trading beyond 1.0675 could push back the sellers.

Following that, an uptick to the monthly high flashed on December 15, around 1.0735, becomes imminent.

In the case where the EUR/USD price remains firmer past 1.0735, May’s peak of 1.0786 and the 1.0800 round figure will be in the spotlight.

On the contrary, a downside break of 1.0630 will confirm the rising wedge bearish formation. Even so, the convergence of the stated HMAs, near 1.0620, could challenge the EUR/USD bears.

Should the EUR/USD remains weak past 1.0620, the one-week-old horizontal support area surrounding 1.0580-75, holds the key to the pair’s south-run towards the monthly low near 1.0390.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY stabilizes at around 154.00 as markets assess BoJ outlook

USD/JPY fluctuates at around 154.00 in the American session on Tuesday after rebounding from the six-month low it touched below 153.00 earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the upside attempts resemble technical corrections for now as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to support the Japanese Yen.

Gold holds around $4,400, but for how long?

Gold (XAU/USD) remains on the back foot during American trading hours on Tuesday, even as the US Dollar (USD) remains on the defensive. Rising Oil prices and expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike weigh on the precious metal. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades around $4,400 after reaching an intraday high near $4,443.

XRP ticks up as bullish derivatives, EMA support signal breakout

Ripple (XRP) is grinding upward and getting closer to a short-term breakout above $1.40 on Tuesday. This uptick follows the remittance token's defense of support at $1.38, after a short-lived attempt to breach selling pressure at $1.50 last week.

Europe in focus: September 2026

Six major net contributors demanded substantial cuts to the European Commission’s proposed 2028–2034 EU budget. Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Sweden issued a joint position on 27 August calling for the nearly €2 trillion proposal to be reduced by several hundred billion euros and rejecting additional common EU borrowing.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
