EUR/USD is trading in the red near 1.1755 at press time, having hit a 26-month high of 1.1909 on Friday.

Notably, on Friday, the pair fell 0.60% and failed to close above the resistance of trendline falling from 2008 and 2014 highs.

That, alongside an overbought or above-70 reading on the relative strength index is indicative of ebbing of bullish momentum.

As such, the pair may test dip demand by testing the 10-day simple moving average (SMA), which is currently located at 1.1698.

Acceptance under that level could cause some buyers to exit the market, leading to a deeper decline toward 1.1495 (March 9 high).

Alternatively, the immediate bullish bias would be revived if the 10-day SMA support holds ground.

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close.
