EUR/USD Price Analysis: Retreats towards 1.0730 support confluence

  • EUR/USD eases from intraday high, pares the first daily gain in three.
  • Clear downside break of short-term ascending trend line, steady RSI keeps sellers hopeful.
  • Convergence of 50-DMA, 10-DMA challenges Euro bears amid bullish MACD signals.

EUR/USD takes a U-turn from the intraday high while declining to 1.0770 during the mid-Asian session on Monday.

In doing so, the major currency pair consolidation the first daily gains in three while justifying the previous day’s downside break of a one-week-old ascending trend line amid steady RSI (14) line.

However, a convergence of the 50-DMA and the 10-DMA, around 1.0730, appears a tough nut to crack for the EUR/USD bears, especially amid bullish MACD signals.

Even if the quote drops below 1.0730, tops marked during early March around 1.690 could challenge the pair sellers before directing them to an upward-sloping support line from early January, around 1.0560 by the press time.

Meanwhile, the EUR/USD buyers remain off the table unless the quote remains below the previous support line, around 1.0820 by the press time.

Even so, multiple tops marked around 1.0930 becomes crucial for the bulls to tackle before eyeing the yearly high surrounding 1.1033.

Overall, EUR/USD is likely to grind lower but an area between the aforementioned DMA convergence and the support-turned-resistance line appears the key for the pair traders to watch.

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

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

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.
