FOREX: EURUSD Extending Highs, Approaching 50-Day EMA
FOREX
- Broad greenback weakness has been extending in recent trade and EURUSD (+0.45%) has edged up to a fresh recovery high of 1.0927. Price action continues to narrow the gap with the 50-day EMA resistance, intersecting today at 1.0938. However, given the expected overnight volatility, more meaningful resistance is found between 1.0997/1.1040, the October 08 and 04 highs respectively.
- The ECB have repeatedly stressed the importance of the productivity-wage-profit channel as a fundamental driver of the inflation outlook, suggesting that growth concerns have moved the meter for the Governing Council. With that said, last week’s moderate upside surprises for Eurozone Q3 GDP will have likely been assisting the single currency bounce.
- However, overall trend conditions continue to suggest the move higher for EURUSD is corrective, and a Trump victory would likely weigh on the pair and reassert the dominant downtrend. Note too, that moving average studies remain in a bear-mode position.
- The bear trigger is unchanged at 1.0761, the Oct 23 low. Below here, market attention would be focused on 1.0710, the July 02 low and 1.0666, the June 26 low.
