EUR/USD Slips Below 1.0950 Ahead of EU/US Inflation Data
EUR/USD is sliding below 1.0950, facing fresh selling pressure as the US Dollar strengthens on Thursday. Weaker-than-expected inflation data from France, Germany, and Spain is weighing on the Euro. All eyes are now on the inflation figures for the Eurozone and the US for new market catalysts. The EUR/USD exchange rate retreats after four consecutive days of gains, pulling back from a three-month high above 1.1000. Despite the retreat, the overall trend still leans towards an upward trajectory. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently above 70 and poised to decline suggests potential consolidation ahead. Closing above 1.1010 on the daily chart opens up profit-taking opportunities.
On the 4-hour chart, the risk seems tilted towards an upside move. The currency pair found support at the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). A solid break below 1.0960 will indicate further downside, with the next support at 1.0925 near the ascending trendline. On the upside, the 1.1000 level presents a crucial resistance to consider. Beyond the recent high, the next resistance level is at 1.1050.
In summary, EUR/USD faces selling pressure amid US Dollar strength, driven by softer inflation data in key Eurozone countries. The overall trend suggests an upward bias, but a potential consolidation phase is indicated by the RSI. Critical levels to watch include 1.0960 on the downside and 1.1000 on the upside.
