EUR/USD bias flipped 23 times to bearish on August 5, 2026
The euro is stalling against the pound as geopolitical uncertainty grips markets, while the dollar remains subdued after US labor data came in weaker than expected. Federal Reserve Governor Cook noted the Fed is running out of room for disinflation to return, which adds to the mixed picture for EURUSD. These factors are shaping trading conditions for the pair without a clear directional signal.
