- EUR/USD remains firmer for the third consecutive day buyers attack short-term key resistance line.
- Impending bull cross on the MACD and a sustained break of the 10-DMA also favor upside momentum.
- 50-DMA appears the key resistance, bears can retake control by breaking July’s low.
EUR/USD picks up bids to extend the weekly gains to 1.0025 during Wednesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the major currency pair prints a three-day uptrend while justifying the first daily close above the 10-DMA since August 15.
However, a two-week-long descending trend line, around 1.0040 by the press time, guards the quote’s immediate recovery moves. Following that, a run-up towards the 1.0100 threshold can’t be ruled out.
Even so, the EUR/USD bulls need a successful closing beyond the 50-DMA hurdle surrounding 1.0195 to retake control.
That said, the looming bull cross of the MACD and steady RSI appears to favor the short-term upside of the quote.
Alternatively, pullback moves remain elusive beyond the 10-DMA support near the parity level of 1.0000.
Following that, July’s bottom near 0.9950 could entertain bears before directing them to the recently flashed 19-year low of 0.9900.
Overall, EUR/USD is up for grabs by the intraday bulls but the risk to the downside can’t be ignored due to the presence of the inflation data on the calendar.
