EUR/USD Price Analysis: Trades around 1.0250 after rebounding from 26-month lows

  • EUR/USD may struggle as it is confined within a descending channel pattern.
  • The 14-day RSI moves above the 30 level, suggesting a recovery from oversold territory.
  • The immediate resistance appears at a nine-day EMA of 1.0290 level.

The EUR/USD pair halts its five-day losing streak, trading around 1.0250 during Tuesday's Asian session. A closer look at the daily chart suggests a continued bearish trend, with the pair moving lower within a descending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a key momentum indicator, has risen above the 30 level, suggesting a recovery from oversold conditions. However, the EUR/USD pair remains below both the nine- and 14-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), pointing to weaker short-term momentum and reinforcing the overall bearish outlook.

On the downside, the EUR/USD pair may revisit its 26-month low at 1.0177, recorded on January 14. A break below this level would lead the pair to test the psychological support level at 1.0000, followed by the lower boundary of the descending channel at 0.9890. A decisive break below this level could strengthen the bearish bias, potentially pushing the pair lower to 0.9730, the lowest point since November 2022.

The EUR/USD pair could encounter primary resistance near the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0290, followed by the 14-day EMA at 1.0318. A breakout above these levels could target the upper boundary of the descending channel at 1.0400, with further gains possibly reaching the two-month high of 1.0630, seen on December 6.

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.
