Based on the early price action and the current price at 1.1023, the direction of the EUR/USD the rest of the session on Monday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the Fibonacci level at 1.1022.

EUR/USD

The dollar rose against the Euro on Monday as safe-haven buyers returned after traders turned cautious about the progress being made toward an end to the U.S.-China trade dispute.

On Friday, the Euro was boosted by optimism that a trade deal could be reached when President Trump announced the two economic powerhouses had agreed to a ‘Phase One’ trade deal.

However, reports from China and Bloomberg News said China wants another round of talks with the U.S. before signing what President Donald Trump called a “very substantial phase one deal.” Bloomberg News first reported the news and said in its report that China also wants the U.S. to scrap a tariff hike scheduled for December.

With uncertainty over the deal being raised, investors turned to the safe-haven dollar for protection, leading to the weaker EUR/Usd.

At 13:25 GMT, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1023, down 0.0013 or -0.12%.

Daily Technical Forecast

Bullish Scenario

A sustained move over 1.1022 will indicate the presence of buyers. If this creates enough upside momentum then look for a potential rally into a resistance cluster at 1.1055 to 1.1059.

Overtaking 1.1059 will indicate the buying is getting stronger with the next target angle coming in at 1.1077.

Bearish Scenario

A sustained move under 1.1022 will signal the presence of sellers. This could trigger a break into the 50% level at 1.0995, followed by an uptrending Gann angle at 1.0969.
