EUR/USD Technical outlook
“The upward strength continued fading in the short term, as in the 4 hours chart, the price is now stuck around a still bullish 20 SMA, whilst technical indicators have turned lower, with the Momentum already below the 100 level and the RSI around 54, while selling interest around 1.0820 remains strong”, said Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXstreet.
She points out that price needs to accelerate below 1.0765 to begin a downward corrective move, while noting that only below 1.0700 bears will retake the lead. “At this point, the pair needs to surpass 1.0828, February monthly high, to confirm a bullish extension towards 1.0870, December high.”
