EUR/USD Price Analysis: Neutral stance around 1.0930 as momentum stalls

  • EUR/USD was seen stabilizing around the 1.0930 zone after the European session, showing neutral movement.
  • Indicators remain in overbought territory, suggesting that the pair may consolidate before choosing a clear direction.
  • Support stands around 1.0850 and resistance is near 1.1000, with price action lacking strong directional momentum.

EUR/USD is trading steadily on Tuesday after the European session, hovering around the 1.0930 area without clear direction. Following last week's rally, the pair has struggled to find fresh momentum, with buyers and sellers maintaining a cautious stance.

From a technical perspective, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in overbought territory at 73 but is showing signs of flattening, reflecting waning bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints flat green bars, signaling a lack of strong trend conviction. These indicators suggest that the pair may enter a consolidation phase before making a decisive move.

Looking ahead, resistance remains at the 1.1000 mark, which has historically acted as a key barrier. On the downside, initial support is located near 1.0850, with stronger footing around the 20-day moving average near 1.0800. A break below these levels could trigger a corrective move, while sustained trading above 1.0900 keeps the broader bullish outlook intact.

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.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
