Technical Analysis of EUR/USD Today
Continued risk aversion among investors—driven by fading hopes for an imminent US-Iran agreement—alongside a renewed surge in oil prices putting pressure on central banks to tighten monetary policy, are all negative factors for the performance of the EUR/USD pair. The exchange rate is currently stabilizing on the verge of the 1.1600 support, giving up its upward rebound path seen at the beginning of the trading week, where gains did not exceed 1.1665.
The bearish scenario characterizes the currency pair's performance on the daily timeframe, and breaking below the 1.1600 support barrier will empower sellers to push the pair toward stronger downward levels.
The movement of technical indicators supports this bearish bias. The 14-day RSI is hovering near the 46 level, reflecting the continued weakness in buying momentum. Moving average readings and the MACD indicator further confirm that sellers are prepared to target deeper bearish levels.
Conversely, for a return to bullish momentum, the bulls need to break the 1.1720 resistance level.
Trading of the Euro against the US Dollar will likely remain within its current ranges until the market reacts to the US employment data release at the end of the week, which could reshape Federal Reserve expectations heading into the summer. This is in addition to on-the-ground developments regarding whether a US-Iran deal materializes.
On the monetary policy front, the rise in Eurozone inflation to 3.2% in May increases the pressure on the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise interest rates next week. Some experts believe the ECB is highly likely to hike rates next week, but the outlook beyond that remains highly uncertain given the volatile conditions clouding businesses, households, and governments.
Conclusion:
The EUR/USD pair is trending downward for some time, while traders will continue to monitor developments related to the US-Iran negotiations.
The EUR/USD pair is maintaining stability above the 1.1600 level as traders balance rising Eurozone inflation against persistent inflation concerns in the United States.
While markets have become more comfortable ignoring geopolitical news, any renewed disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz would quickly bring oil prices and inflation expectations back to the forefront of market attention.
Trading Tips:
Some traders prefer a strategy of selling the Euro against the Dollar, while emphasizing strict adherence to capital management and setting stop-loss levels to mitigate risks.
