EUR/USD Price Analysis: Seller takes a toll on recent gains

  • EUR/USD drops to a low 1.0355 on Tuesday,  shedding part of its weekly gains.
  • RSI stands at 52 in positive territory, yet its rapid decline raises concern over near-term resilience.
  • MACD histogram features rising green bars, hinting at underlying buyer interest despite the downward slope.

The EUR/USD sits around 1.0380, indicating a  dip of 0.30% on Tuesday’s trade but managed to clear part of its daily losses. Despite occasional attempts at recovery, the pair has failed to generate sustained momentum on the upside, suggesting sellers remain firmly in control in the bigger picture.

Technically, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is perched at 52 but declining swiftly, undermining confidence in an immediate rebound. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram continues to show rising green bars, a signal that some degree of bullish sentiment still lurks beneath the current price action. This contrast between a softening RSI and a firming MACD underscores the market’s indecision at present levels.

Looking forward, traders will keep an eye on whether EUR/USD can find a stable footing above the 1.0300 region or if further selling could push it back toward this month’s trough near 1.0240. On the flipside, any sustained push above 1.0400 would draw attention to the pair’s recent peak at 1.0435, potentially shifting short-term prospects back in favor of the bulls.

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 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 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.

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.
