EUR/USD Current price: 1.2662

The EUR/USD trades at a fresh 5 day low near 1.2660 static support, with the 20 SMA presenting a strong bearish slope above current price and capping the upside now in the 1.2710 price zone. Indicators stand in negative territory, with RSI pressuring 70 and momentum still not reflecting latest slide. In the 4 hours chart technical readings present a strong bearish tone, which supports further declines on a break below mentioned support.

In the 4 hours chart technical readings also present a strong bearish momentum, with critical support now at 1.5995, 61.8% retracement of the same rally: a break below should anticipate a downward acceleration, eyeing 1.5950 as next probable bearish target in the short term.
