The EUR/USD currency pair

Indicateurs techniques de la paire de devises:

• Précédent Ouvrir: 1.1188
• Précédent Fermer: 1.1163
• % vari. au cours du dernier jour: -0.22 %

The euro traded near $1.12, rebounding from the one-month lows reached on May 12, when the US and China announced a 90-day truce accompanied by tariff cuts. While the tariff cuts initially sparked optimism that a broader de-escalation of the trade war was imminent, that enthusiasm has since faded and investors are now awaiting further developments. At the same time, renewed concerns about a possible slowdown in the US economy are weighing on the dollar. As for monetary policy, the European Central Bank is expected to continue reducing borrowing costs in June and possibly further.

• Niveaux de résistance: 1.1198, 1.1293, 1.1379

The EUR/USD currency pair’s hourly trend is bearish. However, the intraday bias is currently in favor of the buyers. On Friday, the price fell below 1.1170, but then impulsively returned above the level, creating a locked balance. The 1.1170 support level can be considered for buying, but with confirmation in the form of initiative. Buying can also be considered after a breakout of the downtrend line.

Indicateurs techniques de la paire de devises:

• Précédent Ouvrir: 1.3303
• Précédent Fermer: 1.3281
• % vari. au cours du dernier jour: -0.17 %

This week the UK will publish a number of economic data. The main report will of course be the inflation report. According to the latest FactSet consensus, investors expect the UK CPI to have risen to 3% year-on-year in April, well above the 2.6% recorded in March and a full percentage point above the Bank of England’s 2% inflation target. For its part, the Bank of England expects that inflation is likely to rise once more due to year-on-year comparisons of energy prices after a brief period when inflation reached the 2% target in May 2024. This could temporarily support the British currency in the short term.

The Japanese yen strengthened to 145 per dollar on Monday, marking the fifth consecutive session of gains, as the US dollar weakened after Moody’s downgraded its credit rating. The agency downgraded the US credit rating to Aa1 from Aaa on Friday, citing a deteriorating fiscal outlook and a « lack of effective policy measures » to address the growing deficit. Domestically, the latest data showed Japan’s economy shrank in the first quarter of 2025, with GDP falling more than market expectations and the first economic contraction in a year.

• % vari. au cours du dernier jour: -1.18 %

Bullion prices fell more than 3% last week, its worst weekly performance since November, as heightened risk appetite due to the US-China trade deal pressured the market. However, gold rose above $3220 an ounce on Monday. The appetite for safe-haven assets is driven by growing concerns about the outlook for the US economy and budget deficit. On Friday, Moody’s Ratings downgraded the US government’s credit rating.

Recommandations de trading

From the point of view of technical analysis, the trend on the XAU/USD is bearish, but the conditions for reversal of the medium-term trend are being created.

For buying, we can consider the support level 3202 or EMA lines. There are no optimal entry points for selling right now.

Scénario alternatif:

if the price breaks and consolidates above the resistance level 3226, the uptrend will likely resume.
