EUR/USD renews intraday low as bears attack the 1.1000 round figures early Monday amid broad US Dollar strength, as well as sluggish markets due to holidays at many bourses.

In doing so, the Euro pair drops for the third consecutive day as it breaks the 200-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and an ascending trend line from April 10.

Given the Euro pair’s failure to defend the previous week’s bounce off short-term horizontal support, coupled with the recently impending bearish signals from the MACD indicator, the EUR/USD sellers are likely to keep the reins.

That said, the major currency pair presently drops towards a horizontal support zone comprising multiple levels marked since April 25, near 1.0960.

However, a two-week-long ascending trend line near 1.0945 could challenge the EUR/USD bears afterward.

On the contrary, EUR/USD recovery may aim for the 1.1050 round figures before directing the pair buyers towards a 12-day-long horizontal resistance area surrounding 1.1065-70.

Following that, the recently marked multi-month high of 1.1095 can prod the Euro pair buyers before directing them to the March 2022 peak close to 1.1185.
