Welcome to our daily technical analysis of the financial markets, focusing today on EUR/USD and Gold. Let's dissect the latest news, market trends, and crucial price levels to watch out for.  

1. EUR/USD Analysis: 

News Summary: 

Eurozone industrial output fell 0.7% in October, indicating the industry remains in recession at the start of the fourth quarter. If output in November and December maintains at October levels, it would mean the fifth consecutive quarter decline. Weakness in industry has been widespread since mid-2022, and the data does not prove evidence to a rebound. The biggest decline was in capital goods output, which has been a major drag on economic growth since last year.
