After suffering a sharp drop of more than 1% on Wednesday, the EUR/USD managed a minor rebound by the end of the week, adding 0.28% to trade near 1.0395 on Friday. Despite this modest improvement, the pair remains below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which continues to limit upside potential and maintain a cautious outlook.

Technical indicators suggest that while selling pressure may be easing, the overall bias remains tilted to the downside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to 37, still in negative territory but indicating a gradual reduction in bearish momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram shows flat red bars, reflecting ongoing weakness with tentative signs of stabilization.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?
