EUR/CAD Price Forecast: Maintains position near 1.5650, support appears at nine-day EMA

  • EUR/CAD may break above the descending channel, which could cause the emergence of a bullish bias.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index remains below the 50 level, suggesting the bearish bias is active.
  • The nine-day Exponential Moving Average of 1.5635 acts as the immediate support.

EUR/CAD holds losses after experiencing consolidation, trading near 1.5640 during European hours on Tuesday. Technical analysis on the daily chart points to the weakening of a bearish bias, with the currency cross attempting to break above the upper boundary of the descending channel.

The EUR/CAD cross remains above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which suggests that short-term price momentum is stronger. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned below the 50 level, suggesting the bearish bias is active.

On the upside, a break above the descending channel may cause the emergence of a bullish bias and support the EUR/CAD cross to explore the region around 1.5857, the highest level since July 2020, reached on March 11.

The immediate support appears at the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of 1.5635, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.5597. A break below these levels could weaken the short- and medium-term price momentum and put downward pressure on the EUR/CAD cross, navigating the area around the descending channel’s lower boundary around 1.5270.
