EURUSD: Short-term Weakness Denies Formation of Key Positive Tech Signal

EURUSD
  • Single currency's break lower on these soft PMI prints persists, with new lows in EUR/USD at 1.0826, helping press EUR/JPY further through the 100-dma support of 167.79. EUR/NZD is still in the green, but has pulled around 70 pips off the daily highs as EUR weakness begins to bed in. 
  • Solid activity noted across G10 FX now - cumulative volumes across EUR futures now around 25% above average for this time of day and making for comfortably the busiest session of the week so far. 
  • Next support for EUR/USD undercuts at 1.0817's 200-dma. Interestingly, the protracted spot weakness off last week's high has worked against the formation of a 'golden cross' in DMA space (50-dma > 200-dma), denying markets a possible positive technical signal to slow the decline and build a base for a recovery. 
  • UK PMI next, keeping EUR/GBP in focus given the cross' proximity to recent lows. 0.8383 marks the key level and major support.
