Another failing bounce in the EUR/USD; back below 1.3600
The EUR/USD failed again to bounce back above the 1.3600 area following the weak US GDP number and after a brief jump from 1.3585 to trade as high as 1.3625, the EUR/USD returned below the 1.3600 in the latest few minutes.
Currently, EUR/USD is trading at 1.3599, up 0.06% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.3627 and low at 1.3586. EUR/USD spot is in neutral territory according to the hourly FXStreet OB/OS Index, while the FXStreet Trend Index is strongly bearish.
EUR/USD sentiment
"The hourly chart shows 20 SMA offering short term support around the figure and with a shy bullish slope, while indicators turn lower above their midlines," affirms Valeria Bednarik from FXStreet. "In the 4 hours chart technical indicators present a mild bearish tone while 20 SMA caps the upside around the daily high."
Jamie Coleman from FXBeat commented that the EUR/USD is back below 1.3600 as "the dollar index is taking another peek at 80.58/60. That level is key for further broad USD strength." Coleman points that the pair support "remains clustered in the 1.3550/70 zone; sovereign bids have been rumored ahead of that area this morning."
