Support: 1.0790 (S1), 1.0700 (S2), 1.0600 (S3). 

Resistance: 1.0880 (R1), 1.0970(R2), 1.1070(R3).  

EUR/USD started the week in the reds, with the pair having broken below our support turned to resistance at the 1.0880 (R1) level. We opt for a bearish outlook for the pair and supporting our case is the downwards-moving trendline which was incepted on the  8th of September, in addition to the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 30, implying a strong bearish market sentiment. For our bearish outlook to continue, we would require a clear break below the  1.0790 (S1) support level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 1.0700 (S2) support line. On the flip side, for a sideways bias we would require the pair to remain confined between the 1.0790 (S1) support level and the 1.0880 (R1) resistance line. Lastly, for a bullish outlook, we would require a clear break above the 1.0880 (R1) resistance line, with the next possible target for the bulls being the 1.0970 (R2) resistance level.
