Downbeat RSI (14) line, 100-DMA favors underpin recovery move.

EUR/USD seesaws around 1.0840 as the previous day’s corrective bounce from 1.5-month low fades during the early hours of Thursday.

That said, the downbeat RSI (14) conditions and the 100-DMA support triggered the Euro pair’s rebound from the 1.0800 mark on Wednesday. However, a bearish MACD signal and cautious mood ahead of a speech from European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde, as well as amid US default jitters, check the pair buyers.

Hence, the EUR/USD recovery needs validation and highlights a convergence of the 50-DMA and the support-turned-resistance line stretched from September 2022, close to 1.0900 by the press time, as the key for the pair’s further advances.

Following that, the early May low of near 1.0940 and February’s high surrounding 1.1035 can challenge the buyers.

Adding to the upside filters are multiple tops marked during April and May around 1.1090 and 1.1100.

On the flip side, a daily closing below the 100-DMA level of near 1.0800 will be enough to recall the EUR/USD sellers.

In that case, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s run-up from September 2022 to April 2023, around 1.0725, can act as an extra filter to the south.

It’s worth noting that a broad support zone comprising multiple levels marked since November 2022, around 1.0520-480, becomes a tough nut to crack for the EUR/USD sellers.

To sum up, EUR/USD is likely to remain bearish despite the latest corrective bounce.

Gold retains a positive bias for the second consecutive day on Thursday, though it remains confined within the previous day's broader trading range.
