Before a succession of risk-related developments, the EUR/USD closed the day flat, having rebounded from the 1.1700 take-profit level. As per OCBC Bank’s analysts, unfavorable risks continue to outweigh good prospects for the unit for the time being, notwithstanding recent improvements.
The technical indicators, core risk-off sentiment, and the forthcoming Federal Open Market Committee announcement all work together to maintain the duo’s adjusted average price in the negative territory. The pair is continuing to choose for short positions on gains, notably in the area of 1.1800, with a target of 1.1680/00 as next.
The EUR/USD is taking the opportunity to recover from its previous day’s drop and is currently trading at about 1.1750. The US dollar has given up some of its recent gains, but it is still trading over the 93.00 level. It is possible that Evergrande’s fears about indebted China, along with Fed uncertainties, would stop the currencies from making further gains in the short run.

In the slow start to Tuesday’s Asian session, the EUR/USD maintains its defensive effort from the earlier day, which is close to a monthly bottom. As a result, the main currency pairing is now fluctuating at 1.1730 at the time of publication. Even though the couple’s constructive recovery on Monday was prompted by horizontal support that had been in place for six weeks, two-month-old support, which is now a barrier, as well as the 50-day moving average, provides obstacles to further gains amid bearish MACD indications.
As a result, any comeback is becoming less significant until it clears the initial horizontal barrier at 1.1755, which is accompanied by the 50-day moving average level around 1.1795 and the 1.1800 resistance. If the EUR/USD price crosses the 1.1800 level, the bulls will be called into question by the mid-August high at 1.1805 and a falling resistance level from late June, which is now around 1.1895.
