EUR/USD Price Analysis: Retreats from 200-HMA with eyes on ECB’s Lagarde
|- EUR/USD struggles to defend the first daily gains in three, fades bounce off one-week low.
- 200-HMA, comparatively upbeat US data than from Eurozone keeps Euro pair sellers hopeful.
- Lagarde will speak at ECB Forum, multiple central bankers’ speeches due on the platform during the week.
EUR/USD bulls appear running out of steam around the 1.0900 round figure as they fail to extend the bounce off a one-week low beyond the 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) heading into Monday’s European session. In doing so, the Euro pair justifies the trader’s cautious mood ahead of a speech from the European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde at the ECB Forum, the key platform where multiple central bankers are up for speaking during the week.

It’s worth noting that the cautious sentiment and the 200-HMA, around 1.0915 at the latest, aren’t the only challenges for the EUR/USD bulls as a convergence of the 50-HMA and the previous support line from June 06, close to .0930 at the latest, also prod the Euro pair buyers.
Additionally, a horizontal area comprising multiple tops marked since June 16, close to 1.0945-50, acts as the last defense of the EUR/USD bears.
On the contrary, the mid-June swing high around 1.0860 precedes the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of June 06-22 upside, near 1.0840, to limit the short-term downside of the EUR/USD pair.
It’s worth noting that the early June swing high of around 1.0785-90 appears the final battle place for the Euro buyers.
