EUR/USD Price Analysis: Offers seem possible amid lack of strength in recovery near 1.0600

  • EUR/USD is facing selling pressure in extending its recovery above the supply zone placed in a range of 1.0577-1.0589.
  • An absence of strength in the recovery move from EUR/USD has kept the room open for bears.
  • The RSI (14) is struggling to sustain in the bullish range of 60.00-80.00.

The EUR/USD pair has scaled above 1.0580 in the early Tokyo session despite a lack of strength in the recovery move. It seems that investors are putting less focus on building positions as the release of the United States Nonfarm payrolls (NFP) (Feb) data will provide more clarity on further guidance.

According to the estimates, the United States economy has added fresh 205K jobs, lower than the mega addition of 514K payrolls in January. The Unemployment Rate is expected to remain steady at 3.4%. The catalyst that might grab major attention is the Average Hourly Earnings data. Firms are offering higher payouts to hire fresh talent amid an extreme shortage of labor. And higher payouts are forcing households to stretch their spending, which is ultimately fueling the US Consumer Price Index (CPI). The economic data is seen higher at 4.7% vs. the former release of 4.4%.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is oscillating above 105.20 after a gradual correction. A release of an upbeat US NFP gamut might strengthen US Dollar bulls further.

EUR/USD is facing selling pressure in extending its recovery above the supply zone in a range of 1.0577-1.0589 on an hourly scale. The 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0585 also acts as a barricade for the Euro.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is struggling to sustain in the bullish range of 60.00-80.00. An absence of strength in the RSI (14) could result in exhaustion in the uptrend.

A break below March 01 low at 1.0565 might drag the major currency pair toward March 08 low at 1.0524. A slippage below the same will drag the asset further toward the psychological support at 1.0500.

On the flip side, a decisive move above the round-level resistance at 1.0600 will drive the asset toward February 28 high at 1.0645. A breach above the latter will expose the asset to March 01 high at 1.0691.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading 

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
