The Euro continued it’s Q4 descent against the US Dollar but it’s the recent build of bearish price action in EUR/JPY that’s of interest going into next week.

EUR/USD has taken a beating so far in Q4 but for the past week and the pair is testing the 1.0500 handle for a second time. For both Euro bears and Yen bulls, EUR/JPY could make for a more attractive argument for directional plays.

EUR/USD has vacillated wildly along with election odds and US expectations over the past few days. EUR/JPY has continued to hold a bullish trend following the topside breakout.

EUR/USD finally found some element of support that could hold a low as the pair looks to break what’s been a very bearish streak. Meanwhile, EUR/JPY looks bullish with another breakout to start this week.

EUR/USD is working on its 17th red day in the past 19, a stark contrast to the strength that drove for much of Q3 trade. The question now is how to work with what’s become an oversold move on the daily chart.

EUR/USD is red for the 14th day of the past 15, showing a stark change-of-pace to last month’s rate cut rally in the pair.

EUR/USD bears have taken a swing and the pair is now working on its 13th red day in the past 14. And before that, bulls were persistently pushing into the 1.1200 handle so the contrast is stark. The question now is how dovish the ECB sounds at tomorrow’s widely-expected rate cut.

EUR/USD bears woke up at the start of Q4 as USD broke out of a falling wedge formation. The big question now is how aggressive they remain to be, and there’s a few different spots of lower-high resistance potential.

EUR/USD was poor last week, finding little benefit from the Federal Reserve delivering a dovish surprise at its March FOMC meeting. With little event risk to speak of in the week ahead, and trading through its 50-day moving average, selling rallies is favoured.

The proximity of EUR/AUD to its 200-day moving average and uptrend support presents an opportunity for traders to position for either a bounce or break from this technical juncture, providing favourable risk-reward depending on which way the price moves.

Having spiked to two-month highs in the immediate aftermath of Australia’s December jobs report, EUR/AUD reversed hard, generating a bearish pin candle on the four-hourly suggesting it may have seen a near-term top.

Gold facing significant two-way price risk as major inflation reports loom on the horizon.

Relative economic growth expectations may soon swing back in the euro's favour.

If you’re of the view US yields have peaked but don’t want to get involved in bonds, taking a long EUR/USD position could be for you.

Currencies saw tight ranges overnight, but we see the potential for EUR/USD to have another crack at 1.0700 whilst prices remains below 1.0800.

The ECB had already planned a half-point rate move in March, and these stronger readings are likely to bolster officials who say that more big moves are needed beyond that to get inflation under control.

Both EUR/GBP and EUR/GBP are hugging various pivot points ahead of the open, but whichever way they break initially our bias is for a break to new lows.
