EUR/USD Price Analysis: A drop below 1.0760 exposes further losses

EUR/USD picks up further downside traction near 1.0750.
Losses could accelerate below the 3-month line near 1.0760.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD extends the corrective decline for the third consecutive session and flirts with the 1.0750 region at the beginning of the week.

A convincing breakdown of the 3-month support line around 1.0760 could open the door to extra weakness in the short-term horizon. Against that, there is an interim support at the 55-day SMA at 1.0655 prior to the 2023 low at 1.0481 (January 6).

In the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0318.
