In the previous day’s U.S. currency trading, prices lacked direction due to a U.S. holiday, and the EUR/USD traded within a range of 1.0416 to 1.0462.On the 4-hour chart, the EUR/USD pair is caught between support at lower levels and resistance at the 20-day moving average; therefore, I plan to remain on the sidelines until a clear directional trend emerges.
European currencies fell against Oceania currencies yesterday, partly due to Germany’s trade balance slipping into the red.The EUR/AUD pair fell by more than 180 pips, from 1.5353 to 1.5169. This resulted in a significant break below the 20-period moving average (MA) on the 4-hour chart. However, since the price has not yet established a new low, we will be watching to see if it breaks below the recent low of 1.5062 with a real body candle.
