EUR – English

• EUR/USD remains bullish as USD weakness persists amid softer US economic data. Lower-than-expected retail sales, inflation, and employment figures have reduced expectations for a hawkish Fed, driving traders to unwind USD positions. This has supported EUR strength, with price action holding above key moving averages.

• Momentum indicators, including a strong ADX and positive MACD, suggest continued upside potential. However, consolidation near 1.1600 signals caution, with a pullback likely before further gains. A sustained break above 1.1620 could target 1.1685.

• Near-term risks include hawkish FOMC minutes or stronger US data, which could revive USD demand and weaken the bullish EUR setup.

EUR – English

• Softer U.S. July retail sales (-0.6%) and easing inflation data have reduced expectations for a September Fed rate hike, weakening the dollar. EUR/USD is trading near 1.1568 (+0.32%), with analysts noting short-term fair value around 1.1600–1.1650, supporting a moderately bullish outlook for the euro.

• Technical resistance at 1.1600 and the 100-day SMA remain key hurdles. A sustained break above these levels could open upside targets at 1.1685, while failure to breach may lead to consolidation or a pullback toward 1.1470–1.1480.

• Geopolitical risks, including war-related tensions, pose downside risks. Escalation could trigger safe-haven dollar demand, reversing euro gains despite supportive fundamentals.

• The EUR/USD pair shows a short-term bullish bias, supported by softer US inflation and a 0.6% decline in July US retail sales, which have reduced expectations of a September Fed rate hike. This has pressured the USD, providing macro support for the euro.

• Technically, EUR/USD is trading above key moving averages (20-, 50-, and 100-day) with improving momentum indicators like RSI at 63.2 and a bullish MACD. However, the pair is nearing resistance at the 100-day SMA around 1.162–1.163, increasing the risk of a pullback.

ECB meeting probably won’t help the euro much.

EUR/USD Weekly Forecast Summary

The EUR/USD pair remains under bearish pressure, trading around 1.1450. The outlook is dominated by geopolitical instability rather than monetary policy.

• Key Drivers:
  • Middle East Conflict: Escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are driving up oil prices and fueling inflationary concerns, overshadowing recent positive US economic data.
  • ECB Outlook: The upcoming European Central Bank meeting is unlikely to boost the Euro, as markets are focused on the war’s impact on the economy.
  • US Data: While US inflation (CPI/PPI) has cooled, reducing immediate Fed rate hike expectations, the geopolitical “red flag” keeps the market cautious.
• Technical Outlook:
  • Trend: Bearish. The pair is trading below key moving averages (100-day and 200-day SMAs).
  • Support: Immediate support is at 1.1414 (20-day SMA); a break below could lead to 1.1324 and 1.1200.
  • Resistance: Initial resistance is at 1.1470, followed by 1.1585.
