Patricio Martín FXStreet

The EUR/USD pair started the week with a sharp decline, falling over 1% and breaking decisively below the psychological 1.0500 mark, but managed to stabilize around this level on Tuesday.

Despite this pause, the technical outlook remains bearish as the pair stays below the 20-day Simple Moving Average, which continues to act as a strong resistance. Indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 38, remain pointed downward, suggesting room for further declines before reaching oversold territory. Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram shows weakening bullish momentum with shallow green bars, but no signs of a reversal.

Unless a significant bullish catalyst emerges, the pair remains vulnerable to further downside, with traders closely monitoring support levels at 1.0450 and 1.0430 for potential stabilization or continued losses toward 1.0400.

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.
