EUR/USD Analysis
The Euro saw modest gains during early trading hours Monday, with the 1.08 level providing a significant support point. This area has been revisited by buyers, showing strength as they attempt to keep the Euro from sliding further against the dollar.
Traders remain cautious, watching for signs of breakdown or a bounce back to the 200-day EMA, which could see resistance from short-term sellers.
With American interest rates pushing higher, it’s evident that the dollar’s relative strength will remain a crucial factor for the Euro’s trajectory. Should the EUR/USD pair dip below 1.0750, a sharp 100-point drop could be in the cards.
USD/JPY Analysis
Against the Japanese yen, the US dollar started the week with upward momentum, gapping higher before a slight pullback. This move reflects confidence in the carry trade, as the interest rate disparity between the United States and Japan continues to benefit the dollar.
The pair’s breakthrough above the 152 yen level further suggests bullish sentiment, with an eye on reaching 155 yen as the next major resistance level.
Short-term dips in this pair may provide buying opportunities as traders capitalize on the dollar’s prevailing strength. Political uncertainties in Japan following an inconclusive election add a layer of complexity to the outlook.
AUD/USD Analysis
The Australian dollar has faced early-week pressures, slipping slightly before finding a foothold. Trading below the 0.6650 mark, the pair remains within an oversold range, which could fuel a short-term rally.
This level is particularly significant as it coincides with the 200-day EMA, a key technical indicator that may act as resistance.
If the AUD/USD breaks past this, there is potential for a climb towards the 50-day EMA, though broader market sentiment and US bond performance suggest that might be an optimistic target.
Alternatively, a break below recent lows may drive the pair further down to the 0.65 level, especially amid cautious global risk sentiment.
Interest rate differentials, coupled with varied geopolitical events, continue to set the stage for fluctuations in these major pairs. As market participants assess upcoming economic data, currency movements are expected to reflect these changing expectations across global markets.
