EUR/USD Price Analysis: Weekly chart suggests pullback from 3-month tops on the ECB day
|- EUR/USD retreats from 1.1258 to 1.1222 as traders gear up for today’s ECB.
- 100-week and 200-week SMAs guard the pair’s immediate upside past-61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
- The early-May top could offer immediate support during the further downside.
EUR/USD steps further away from the multi-day high of 1.1258, flashed the previous day, to 1.1222, down 0.11% on a day, during early Thursday.
In doing so, the quote portrays its failure to cross 100-week SMA on the day of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy decision and press conference by Governor Christine Lagarde.

While bullish MACD and normal RSI conditions on the weekly chart suggest the pair’s further upside, a 200-day SMA level of 1.1335 could challenge the pair’s past-1.1225 immediate resistance.
Should the prices rise past-1.1335 on a weekly closing basis, March month high near 1.1500 will lure the bulls.
On the contrary, sellers will wait for entries below 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s broad run-up from December 2016 to February 2018, around 1.1190.
In doing so, the early-May peak close to 1.0810 is likely to be the bears’ favorite.
