EUR/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The EUR/USD daily chart delineates that the euro, even though it recovered from two-decade lows, it is still downward biased. The major could shift its bias to neutral if it clears the 100-day EMA at 1.0226 and would shift bullish if the pair is back above 1.0615, which could pave the way for a 200-day EMA test at 1.0632. That said, failure at parity or the 50-day EMA at 1.0015 would expose the EUR/USD to selling pressure.

Therefore, the EUR/USD first support would be 0.9900, closely followed by the 20-day EMA at 0.9890. A breach of the latter will expose the 0.9800 figure, followed by the YTD low at 0.9635.
