EUR/USD Price Analysis: Trims losses near 1.0700, the bearish outlook remains intact

  • EUR/USD trades on a stronger around 1.0700 in Monday’s early European session. 
  • The pair keeps the negative vibe below the key 100-period EMA, with the bearish RSI indicator. 
  • The key upside barrier will emerge near 1.0762; 1.0670 acts as an initial support level for the pair. 

The EUR/USD pair trims losses near 1.0700 during the early European session on Monday. The upside of the major pair might be limited as investors are concerned about the political uncertainties in the Eurozone, particularly the outcome of a snap election in France. Furthermore, the firmer US Dollar (USD) after the stronger-than-expected US PMIs released on Friday might create a headwind for the pair. 

Technically, the bearish outlook of EUR/USD remains intact as the major pair holds below the key 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 4-hour chart. The downward momentum is backed by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which stands in the bearish zone near 40.0, indicating that further downside looks favorable. 

The key upside barrier for EUR/USD will emerge near 1.0762, portraying the confluence of the 100-period EMA and the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band. Further north, the next hurdle is seen at 1.0815, a high of June 15. Any follow-through buying will see a rally to 1.0852, a high of June 12. 

On the flip side, the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 1.0670 acts as an initial support level for the major pair. A breach of this level will pave the way to 1.0650, a low of May 1. The additional downside filter to watch is the 1.0600 psychological level.

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.
