After bottoming out in the 1.1340.35 band, EUR/USD is now looking to rebound to the 1.1350 region following an auspicious result from the US GDP figures.

EUR/USD still offered post-US data

The pair remains entrenched into the negative territory around 1.1350, albeit a tad higher than today’s lows in the 1.1340/35 band and always against the backdrop of a solid sentiment around the buck.

Still in the US docket, the final print of the October’s Consumer Sentiment tracked by the U-Mich index is coming up next.

EUR/USD levels to watch

At the moment, the pair is down 0.18% at 1.1353 and a break below 1.1336 (low Oct.26) would target 1.1319 (200-week SMA) en route to 1.1299 (2018 low Aug.15). On the flip side, the immediate hurdle aligns at 1.1470 (10-day SMA) seconded by 1.1505 (21-day SMA) and finally 1.1550 (high Oct.22).

EUR/USD analysis: still bearish despite...

EUR/USD analysis: still bearish despite Friday's bounce, eyeing US PCE inflation

EUR/USD Current price: 1.1403
- USD Q3 GDP up 3.5%, although tariffs started weighing on economic growth.
- Fed's favorite inflation measure seen unchanged at 2.0% YoY in September.


The American dollar continued appreciating early Friday but ended the day giving up ground against most of its rivals, to close it lower. The EUR/USD pair, bottomed at 1.1335 to close a couple of pips above the 1.1400 figure, down for a second consecutive week. The greenback eased despite upbeat Q3 GDP, as the preliminary growth estimate for the three months to September came in at 3.5%, above the 3.3% expected. Partially offsetting the headline was PCE inflation, up by less-than-expected in the same period, just 1.6% vs. 2.1% in the previous quarter. Also, and in spite of the encouraging headline, the report showed that tariffs started to weigh on growth with exports falling and imports rising strongly. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index was downwardly revised to 98.6 from the first estimate of 99.00, adding to dollar's weakness at the end of the week. Meanwhile, stocks remained under selling pressure, with the risk-averse decline fueled by softer-than-expected earnings reports from big names.

Monday will bring the release of the US September PCE inflation, the Fed's favorite measure when it comes to making decisions. The market expects a 0.1% monthly advance, while the yearly reading is foreseen up by 2.0%, matching the previous reading. A disappointing number, particularly considering the quarterly outcome, could hurt the greenback, although it seems quite unlikely that a single negative reading can deviate the Federal Reserve from its tightening path.

The recovery of the EUR/USD pair fell short of changing the negative bias according to the daily chart, as it continues developing far below all of its moving averages, with a bearish 20 DMA being the nearest at around 1.1500, and more relevant, it was unable to advance beyond 1.1430, former October monthly low. In the mentioned chart, technical indicators have recovered alongside the price, but remain well into negative ground and with the upward potential limited. Shorter term, and according to the 4 hours chart, the upside seems limited, as the pair settled around a bearish 20 SMA, while technical indicators decelerated their advances after reaching their midlines, where they currently stand. The mentioned 1.1430 level is an immediate resistance, with follow-through beyond it exposing the 1.1520 region, should the dollar remain under pressure.

Support levels: 1.1360 1.1335 1.1300

Breaking: EUR/USD falls fast below 1.1300

329
Breaking News: EUR/USD falls fast below 1.1300, the former double-bottom, on USD strength

The EUR/USD dropped below the former double-bottom of 1.1300. Cascading stop-losses sent the world's No. currency pair down to 1.1268 in a quick movement. The pair is trading at the lowest level since June 2017, a 17-month low.

1.1235 is seen as the next downside target for the EUR/USD, followed by 1.1220. Above 1.1300, resistance awaits at 1.1330.

The US Dollar is gaining ground, extending the moves seen last week. The Federal Reserve maintained its hawkish stance last week. While Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues left the interest rate unchanged, they left the door wide open to a rate hike in its December meeting.

Also, concerns about Brexit also have an impact. Reports about a sharp disagreement in the UK government weighs on the Pound and sentiment and also helped push the EUR/USD over the critical line.

Here is how the move looks on the EUR/USD 15-minute chart. US traders are enjoying a long weekend and are off today. Slightly lower liquidity also had an impact on the move. Later in the week, US inflation and retail sales data are set to impact financial markets.
