EUR/USD Price Analysis: Struggles to halt the losing streak near 1.0500


  • EUR/USD attempts to stay above the 1.0500 psychological level.
  • Momentum indicators suggest a potential bearish sentiment in the market.
  • The region around January’s low could act as a key support.

EUR/USD attempts to snap the losing streak that began on September 19, hovering around 1.0500 psychological level during the Asian session on Thursday. The pair is under pressure due to risk aversion, coupled with upbeat US Treasury yields and economic data.

On Wednesday, Germany’s downbeat Gfk Consumer Confidence Survey exerted pressure on the EUR/USD pair. The consumer sentiment revealed a decline of -26.5 in October from -25.6 prior.

The current downward momentum in EUR/USD appears to have a potential bearish bias, given that the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the 50 level. However, there is a support region around January’s low at 1.0481 that may pose a challenge for further losses.

If there's a breakthrough below the level, it could lead the EUR/USD bears to navigate the area around the psychological level at 1.0450.

On the upside, the EUR/USD pair may encounter significant resistance levels in its price movement. The seven-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0575 could act as a barrier, followed by the 1.0600 psychological level.

If the pair breaks above the latter, it may then explore the region around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.0673.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is providing a bearish signal for the EUR/USD pair. The MACD line lies below the centerline and the signal line. This configuration suggests that there is potentially weak momentum in the price movement.

Last week was chaotic. The Fed’s hawkish 25bp cut, the hint from the dot plot that there would be only two rate cuts next year instead of four – because the US economy is too strong to continue the cuts as previously predicted - and the US debt limit shenanigans even before Trump took office gave a negative jolt to the US stock markets.
