EUR/USD Price Forecast: Falls toward 1.1500 near seven-month lows

  • EUR/USD may find the initial support at the seven-month low of 1.1468.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index falls below 30, signaling oversold conditions.
  • Initial resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA around 1.1650.

EUR/USD edges higher after registering little gains in the previous session, trading around 1.1520 during the Asian hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests an ongoing bearish bias as the pair remains within the descending channel pattern.

The near-term bias is bearish as the pair extends its decline below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which has turned lower and now tracks well above spot, reinforcing short-term downside pressure. Price also holds beneath the 50-day EMA, keeping the broader trend tilted to the downside despite earlier consolidation.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator has slipped below 30, signaling oversold conditions. Yet, the persistent deterioration from mid-range readings indicates sellers remain in control for now rather than a completed exhaustion phase.

The primary support lies at the seven-month low of 1.1468. Further declines would put downward pressure on the EUR/USD pair to test the lower boundary of the descending channel around 1.1430, followed by the nine-month low of 1.1391.

On the upside, the EUR/USD may approach the initial resistance at the nine-day EMA of 1.1650, where any rebound would face a first technical hurdle within the prevailing downtrend. A more meaningful recovery would require a daily close back above the 50-day EMA at 1.1742, followed by the upper descending channel boundary around 1.1790, to ease bearish momentum and open the path toward 1.2082, the highest level since June 2021.

Gold eyes $4,400 as receding Fed hike bets undermine USD

Gold is looking to build on Friday's bounce from the $4,300 neighborhood as reduced bets for an immediate Fed rate hike keep US Dollar bulls on the defensive and support the non-yielding bullion.

It has been a relatively monotonous week, with the US dollar desperately trying to recover from last Friday’s nonfarm payrolls-induced losses, the main equity indices trading mostly sideways amidst a quiet earnings calendar, and sovereign bond yields reminding everyone of their pivotal role in the current financial system. These market moves are partly connected to the Middle East developments.
 Weekly focus: Some relief in US inflation concerns

Actual inflation data for July came out as expected with a 0.1% m/m increase in headline CPI and 0.2% excluding food and energy.
