EUR/USD Price Analysis: Faces Barricades Around 1.0780 As USD Index Rebounds
The EUR/USD pair has displayed an exhaustion in the upside momentum after reaching to near 1.0780 in the European session. The major currency pair has met an intermediate resistance due to an extension in the recovery by the US Dollar Index (DXY).
The USD Index has stretched its recovery to near 103.60, however, the downside seems favored as the United States labor market conditions are easing now and providing room for keeping interest rates steady by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in May.
A corrective move in the Euro could conclude sooner as the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to raise interest rates further despite deepening fears of a recession in Eurozone.
The recovery move in the EUR/USD has pushed it above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (plotted from March 15 low at 1.0516 to April 26 high at 1.1095) at 1.0738. For a strong build-up of positive sentiment, the Euro has to pass through plenty of filters.
A bull cross, represented by the 20-and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 1.0724, adds to the upside filters.
Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has shifted into the bullish range of 60.00-80.00, which indicates that the upside momentum has been triggered.
Further correction to near May 30 high at 1.0746 would trigger a bargain buy opportunity, which will drive the asset towards June 02 high at 1.0779 followed by the round-level resistance at 1.0800.
In an alternate scenario, the downside move will resume if the shared currency pair drops below the June 05 low at 1.0675. This will drag the asset towards May 31 low at 1.0635 followed by March 03 low at 1.0588.
