Fundamental Analysis:
EUR/USD resumed its steep multi-week retracement on Monday, flirting with two-month lows near the
1.0800 neighbourhood and maintaining the trade below the crucial 200-day Simple Moving Average
(SMA) at 1.0871. Meanwhile, the US Dollar (USD) stayed strong, pushing the US Dollar Index (DXY)
just pips away from the 104.00 barrier, a region last seen in early August. This extra advance in the
Greenback was bolstered by multi-week peaks in US yields across the spectrum. The Dollar's rally, which
has been ongoing since the start of the month, has been propped up by robust US fundamentals and a
cautious tone from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials, while the resurgence of the “Trump trade” on Monday
also contributed to the robust uptick. While many policymakers appear to favour a 25 basis point cut next
month, some, like FOMC Governor Michelle Bowman and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, showed
some caution. Bostic has even suggested that the Fed might skip a cut in November. According to the
CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in around an 85% probability of a
quarter-point cut next month.
Technical Analysis:
Further declines might push EUR/USD to its October low of 1.0810 (October 17), ahead of the key of
1.0800 and prior to the August low of 1.0777 (August 1). On the upside, the 100-day and 55-day SMAs at
1.0935 and 1.1038, respectively, act as temporary resistance. The 2024 top of 1.1214 (September 25) is
likely to be followed by the 2023 peak of 1.1275 (July 18). Meanwhile, if the pair remains below the
critical 200-day SMA of 1.0871, the outlook may deteriorate. The four-hour chart shows the pair
resuming its downward trajectory. Nonetheless, early support is at 1.0810, followed by 1.0777. On the
upside, the 55-SMA at 1.0897 leads, followed by 1.0954 and the 100-SMA at 1.0968. The relative
strength index (RSI) fell below the 30 yardstick.
