The Euro (EUR) is inching higher against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, December 9th, demonstrating a tentative recovery after finding support at a key technical level. This upward move highlights the importance of the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) for the EUR/USD pair, suggesting a cautiously optimistic short-term outlook.
Technical Indicators Hint at Building Momentum
While the EUR/USD remains below the psychologically significant 1.0600 level, technical indicators are flashing signs of potential improvement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently trending upwards, indicating a recovery in momentum. However, the RSI remains below the neutral 50 mark, suggesting a cautious approach as the recovery is still in its early stages.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator adds further weight to the potential for a bullish resurgence. The MACD is printing rising green bars, signifying building bullish momentum. However, a decisive breakout above resistance is still needed to confirm a clear uptrend.
Key Levels to Watch: Bulls Aim for 1.0600, Bears Eye Support
For the EUR/USD to extend its gains, traders will be closely watching the 1.0600 resistance level. A successful break above this level would open up further upside potential for the Euro. Conversely, a break below the crucial support level at the 20-day SMA, currently hovering around 1.0550, could trigger renewed selling pressure. If this support level fails to hold, the EUR/USD could revisit the 1.0530 level and potentially even test the psychological barrier of 1.0500.
