EUR/USD Price Analysis: Next target emerges at 1.0180

EUR/USD reclaims part of the ground lost on Tuesday’s sell-off.
Further rebound should target the multi-month line near 1.180.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD regains some poise and manages to trim part of the weekly pullback following Tuesday’s slump in the wake of the release of US inflation figures.

If the recovery picks up extra pace, then the interim hurdle comes at the 55-day SMA at 1.0125 prior to the key 7-month resistance line, today near 1.0180. A move beyond the latter is needed to mitigate the downside pressure and allow at the same time a visit to the interim 100-day SMA at 1.0325 prior to the more relevant August high at 1.0368 (August 10).

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view is expected to prevail as long as it trades below the 200-day SMA at 1.0741.

EUR/USD stays below 1.1850 after dismal German sentiment data

Gold recovers modestly, stays deep in red below $4,950

Gold (XAU/USD) stages a rebound but remains deep in negative territory below $4,950 after touching its weakest level in over a week near $4,850 earlier in the day. Renewed US Dollar strength makes it difficult for XAU/USD to gather recovery momentum despite the risk-averse market atmosphere.

Stellar mixed sentiment caps recovery

Stellar price remains under pressure, trading at $0.170 on Tuesday after failing to close above the key resistance on Sunday. The derivatives metric supports the bearish sentiment, with XLM’s short bets rising among traders and funding rates turning negative.
