Current upward bias to remain intact above the 55-day EMA – UOB Group

Improving upward momentum indicates EUR/USD could maintain its upward bias; it is premature to expect a retest of the 1.1573 high, UOB Group's FX analyst Quek Ser Leang reports.

EUR/USD is still trying to edge higher

"Our previous Chart of the Day update from about two weeks ago, 09 May 2025, when EUR/USD was at 1.1225 states: “On the daily chart, EUR/USD fell slightly below the 1.1215/1.1225 support zone yesterday (baseline of Ichimoku cloud, last September’s high and a rising trendline), suggesting that 1.1573 could be an interim top. The breach of the key daily support zone could open the way for a deeper corrective pullback toward the 55-day EMA, currently at 1.1050. On the upside, 1.1400 is a strong near-term resistance level, ahead of 1.1573.”

"Shortly after our update, EUR/USD fell and tested the 55-day EMA, reaching a low of 1.1064. Since the low, EUR/USD has been edging higher. The daily MACD is rising, indicating improving upward momentum, though it remains in negative territory for now. While the improving momentum suggests EUR/USD could maintain its current upward bias, it appears premature to expect a retest of 1.1573, let alone a sustained break above this level."

"The current upward bias will remain intact as long as EUR/USD holds above the 55-day EMA. In the near-term, ahead of the 55-day EMA, there is a notable support level at 1.1200. On the upside, should there be a decisive break above 1.1435, then the likelihood of EUR/USD retesting of 1.1573 will increase."

When consensus on the 'safe haven' characteristic breaks down – Commerzbank

In times of increasing 'geostrategic uncertainty', the US Dollar has recently been tending to weaken rather than strengthen. The more this price behavior of the US currency becomes apparent, the more it could intensify, Commerzbank's Head of FX and Commodity Research Ulrich Leuchtmann notes.
