EUR/USD Holds Near 3-Month Highs, Approaching 1.0950"

FX:EURUSD   Euro / U.S. Dollar
The EUR/USD exchange rate has risen for the second consecutive day, surpassing the 1.0900 level. The upward trend remains intact as prices are holding above significant Simple Moving Averages on the daily chart. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70 indicates overbought conditions.

On the 4-hour chart, overbought conditions persist, but there are currently no signs of a major correction. Further upside potential exists as long as prices stay above 1.0885. If a pullback occurs, the next support level to watch is 1,0830. On the upside, immediate resistance is around 1.0965, and a higher breakout aims for the 1.0990 level. The US Dollar extended its decline on Monday, pushing the EUR/USD rate to a three-month high near 1.0950. The bias continues to favor the upside as the US Dollar remains vulnerable.

Market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) has completed its interest rate hikes continue to weigh on the US Dollar, and it is further fueled by stock market gains on Wall Street. The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell 0.35% to 103.45, its lowest since August. The greenback is still seeking support.

On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve will release the latest FOMC meeting minutes. In terms of US data, the Fed's National Activity Index and Existing Home Sales are on the schedule. In Europe, the upcoming key report will be the preliminary PMI for November, scheduled for Thursday.

As long as the risk-on environment persists, the EUR/USD pair has the potential for further gains. However, considering the superior economic performance of the US compared to the Eurozone, fundamental factors still support the US Dollar.
