EUR/USD Death Cross Shows Near-Term Momentum Still Pointed Lower

FOREX
  • Greenback comfortably the poorest performer in G10 early Friday and extending losses here: EUR/USD's new daily high sits just shy of the 1.06 handle and the Tuesday high of 1.0609. The fading USD has allowed the technically oversold condition in EUR/USD and GBP/USD to fully reverse - suggesting this USD dip could be corrective in nature at these levels.
  • Yesterday's close secured a 'death cross' in EUR/USD (50-dma falling bellow 200-dma), the first since mid-2021, and shows near-term momentum clearly pointed lower in the pair.
  • Worth recalling the majority of sell-side month-end FX rebalancing models all pointed to USD buying into the month-end fix, so markets may be wary heading into US hours of underlying USD demand.
