EUR/USD Technical Outlook
EUR/USD is setting itself up to test the 1.1100 big figure level and the 1.1073 October 25 low print as buyers give up on trying to break higher. The 200-day moving average (black line on the chart) continues to thwart any upside momentum with the indicator capping EUR/USD price action for the last four months. Just above here, sits the 1.1180 multi-week high which the pair rejected yesterday. EUR/USD is now trading either side of the 20-day moving average at 1.1118 which guards the October 25 low. Below here the 50-day moving average may provide some support at 1.1074 before the October 15 swing-low at 1.0992.

The closely watched ISM non-manufacturing/services composite release at 15:00 GMT is expected to show a pick-up to 53.4 against last month’s (September) reading of 52.6, its lowest level since April 2016.
