Weaker dollar as shifting jobs data steers flows and hedging costs

The euro vs dollar pair advanced following the latest U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report, which showed job losses in October offset by job gains in November, leading to a weaker U.S. Dollar. Developments in U.S. employment figures and ongoing Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions have influenced short-term movements, with money market activity also affecting dollar hedging costs. Other recent news reported was unrelated to the EUR/USD currency pair.

Mixed momentum signals despite bullish levels amid overbought warnings

Technical analysis shows EUR/USD remains above the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200 levels, confirming a bullish outlook for the short, medium, and long term. Immediate support is found at the Ichimoku Kijun ($1.1646) with resistance near the recent highs and the MA-5 region ($1.1743). The D1 MACD and ADX suggest positive trend strength, but the Stochastic RSI and CCI show overbought conditions, and while RSI is elevated, it is not extreme. Bull/Bear Power favors buyers slightly, and the Awesome Oscillator aligns with upward momentum, though mixed signals from oscillators imply caution due to potential overstretched conditions.

Sideways action likely as bullish bias faces resistance and breakout risk

Over the next five trading days, EUR/USD is likely to consolidate within a typical volatility band of $1.1680 – $1.1750. Weekly indicators suggest more than an 80% chance of continued upward price movement, with a pullback seen as less probable. The base scenario is for sideways movement above $1.1680, while a clear break above $1.1750 could trigger a bullish acceleration; a decisive move below $1.1680 would open up downside risk.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees the EUR/USD pair holding its bullish structure on macro and technical grounds. He notes that recent U.S. jobs data and monetary policy shifts have weakened the U.S. Dollar, increasing upward momentum for the euro. Technical signals support the bull case, though overstretched conditions warrant some caution. Karapetjanc believes a breakout is possible if $1.1750 is cleared, while consolidation above $1.1680 remains the probable scenario. "I see continued positive sentiment for EUR/USD as long as price stays above $1.1680 and fundamentals remain supportive," he says.

Last time, analysts noted that EUR/USD is trading well above key moving averages and supported by strong bullish signals from MACD and momentum indicators, though several oscillators, including RSI and CCI, indicate overbought conditions. The pair is expected to consolidate within a tight range, with resistance near 1.1780–1.1800 and dynamic support at the Ichimoku Kijun, while the probability of a sustained upward move remains high despite potential for near-term exhaustion.
