EUR/USD Reversal After Strong US Data: Bearish Momentum Ahead?

5 sept.

After yesterday's pullback, the EUR/USD pair has formed a rejection candle on the daily chart after touching the 1.1112 mark. The pair's gains against the USD were quickly reversed, as surprisingly strong US ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data for August offered significant support to the US Dollar (USD). The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, has recovered most of its intraday losses after finding buying interest near the day's low around the 101.00 level.

From a technical perspective, we have already closed 50% of our position after the price bounced back from a key supply area. The Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows a high level of retail traders accumulating long positions in EUR/USD, marking the highest accumulation since the last significant price peak in December. This accumulation hints at potential exhaustion of the bullish sentiment among retail traders, which may lead to further bearish pressure.

The ISM Services PMI report revealed that activity in the US services sector expanded slightly more than anticipated, with a reading of 51.5, compared to July's 51.4. Economists had projected a modest slowdown to 51.1, but the unexpected uptick in service activity adds another layer of support for the USD. This strong economic performance suggests that the US economy remains resilient, increasing the chances of sustained strength in the USD.

Given this scenario, we anticipate a continuation of bearish pressure on the EUR/USD and other currency pairs against the USD. With retail traders heavily positioned long and the fundamentals favoring the USD, the market may continue to see the US Dollar strengthen in the coming days, offering potential opportunities for those seeking to short the EUR/USD or other USD pairs.
