EUR/USD struggling to gain momentum beyond 1.0400 handle
The EUR/USD pair held on to its tepid recovery gains, albeit has struggled to gain further traction, and extended its consolidative price action throughout the European session.Currently trading marginally above 1.0400 handle, a mild US Dollar retracement seems to be the only factor supporting the pair's recovery from fresh 14-year lows touched on Tuesday. The broader US Dollar Index retreats from 14-year high as investors seemed inclined to take some profits off the table following the recent up-surge in wake of Donald Trump's surprise victory in the US presidential election and hawkish FOMC forecast for 2017.Looking at the broader picture, today's rebound could be seen as a technical pull-back from near-term oversold conditions and hence, would be categorized as a corrective move within a broader downtrend. Later during NA session, existing home sales data from the US would be looked upon for short-term trading opportunities ahead of key US macro data on Thursday, including the final GDP print for Q3 2016.A follow through buying interest above session peak resistance near 1.0420 region is likely to accelerate the up-move immediately towards 1.0445-50 resistance area above which a fresh bout of short-covering has the potential to lift the pair towards 1.0500 psychological mark resistance.Meanwhile on the downside, sustained weakness below 1.0385-80 immediate support seems to drag the pair back towards Tuesday's multi-year lows support near 1.0350 region, which if broken should expose 2003 yearly lows support near 1.0335 level.

A mild greenback retracement, with the US Dollar Index correcting from Tuesday's 14-year peak, further assisted the pair to defend monthly lows support.In absence of any fresh fundamental trigger, the latest leg of recovery could be attributed to short-covering after bears repeated failed to drag the pair below 1.2300 handle, held since early November. Moving ahead, today's US economic docket, featuring the release of existing homes sales for November, might provide fresh impetus ahead of Thursday's key GDP data from UK and the US.Immediate resistance on the upside is pegged at 1.2400 handle above which the pair is likely to aim towards 50-day SMA resistance near 1.2420 region. On the downside, weakness back below 1.2360 level might continue to find support near 1.2320 region, which if broken would expose 1.2270-80 support, en-route 1.2240 level.

Having posted a session low at 0.7240 level, the AUD/USD pair gained some traction and is now building on Tuesday's recovery move.Currently trading around 0.7265-70 band, the US Dollar extended its profit taking slide during early NA session, as investors continue to lock-in some profits from recent gains, and has been the sole driver for the pair's recovery move on Wednesday.

Higher oil prices, with WTI crude oil holding comfortably above $53.00/barrel mark, is lending support to the commodity-linked currency - Loonie. Moreover, extension of the US Dollar's corrective slide, from yesterday's multi-year tops, was also seen contributing to some selling pressure around the major. The downslide, however, seems to have been limited for the time being, just above 50-day SMA immediate support, as investors awaited for the official EIA data on US crude stockpiles and provide fresh impetus in oil market and eventually drive the USD/CAD major. From the US, existing home sales data might trigger some short-term momentum play, but key focus would be on a flurry of important macro releases on Thursday, including CPI and monthly retail sales data from Canada, and final GDP print, durable goods orders from the US. Immediate downside support is pegged at 50-day SMA near 1.3350 region, which if broken is likely to accelerate the slide towards weekly lows support near 1.3315 area ahead of 1.3300 round figure mark. On the upside, momentum above session peak resistance near 1.3385 level, leading to a subsequent strength above 1.3400 handle, is likely to lift the pair towards 1.3435 (yesterday's high) en-route 1.3465 (Nov. 30 high).
