EURUSD Outlook: Neutral with Bearish Pressure Ahead

The current outlook for $EURUSD is neutral to slightly bearish.

While the pair shows resilience, significant headwinds persist.

Key Factors

• Bullish Support: Cooling US inflation data has provided a floor near 1.1400.

• Bearish Pressure: Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are boosting crude oil prices and driving demand for the US Dollar as a safe haven.

Technical Structure:

The pair is currently in an ABC upward corrective pattern with limited room for further gains. Technical Levels

• Resistance: 1.1480 – 1.1510

• Support: 1.1440 – 1.1410 Expectation: A reversal is anticipated in the near term as the corrective structure exhausts its upside potential.

WTI crude oil’s outlook remains neutral to bullish

WTI crude oil’s outlook remains neutral to bullish.

Ongoing tensions between the US and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz are helping sustain a geopolitical risk premium, which is offsetting concerns about weak demand.

Although the proposed 20% transit toll was withdrawn, the US naval blockade and retaliatory military actions continue to pose risks to supply chains and support supply-related anxiety.

As a result, these persistent geopolitical tensions have helped create a firm price floor and are maintaining an upward bias in WTI prices.
