The currency pair started the previous week by testing a short term support line at 1,05. The highest weekly level reached was 1,06, from where the pair started its final reversal toward the downside, and to its lowest weekly level at 1,0338. Still, the market did not have strength to hold this level and the eurusd reverted back, ending the week at the level of 1,0417. The RSI indicator continues to move within highly oversold territory, reaching the level of 26, during the end of the week. Interesting development is also with moving averages. Namely, MA 50 is quite close to its counterpart MA 200, implying that the cross might come soon. In technical analysis this is treated as an important indicator over the strong potential for a trend change. In other terms, it would imply a potential for a further strengthening of USD. These lines should be watched closely in the coming period.
The level of 1,04 represents an historically important support line. On a longer historical scale, the level of 1,04 support line represents the last defence line before the currency pair moves further toward the downside and final parity. In this sense it could be expected for the market to slow down around this level during the following period. Still, it should not be neglected that the lowest weekly level reached was 1,0338. This means that the market is more oriented toward the downside at this moment. Also, it should be taken into account that the week ahead brings October PCE data, which would certainly bring some higher volatility. At this moment on charts, there is equal probability for eurusd to revert back toward the 1,05, or to move further down toward the 1,03. Which side will be traded shall be more clear at the start of the week.
Important news to watch during the week ahead are:
EUR: Ifo Business Climate for November for Germany, GfK Consumer Confidence for December in Germany, Inflation rate preliminary for November for Germany, Retail Sales in October in Germany, Unemployment rate in November for Germany, Inflation Rate flash for November in the EuroZone.
