EUR/USD price analysis: Pair drifts lower amid bearish pressure

  • EUR/USD trades near the 1.1100 zone with minor losses on Friday.
  • The pair maintains a bearish outlook, supported by mixed technical signals.
  • Key support is clustered below 1.1150, with resistance near 1.1200.

The EUR/USD pair is under modest selling pressure on Friday, moving near the lower end of its daily range around the 1.1100 zone. This positioning reflects a bearish tone, reinforced by a cluster of short-term technical indicators that favor downside momentum, despite some mixed signals from longer-term trends. As the European session wraps up, traders appear cautious, aligning with the broader risk-off sentiment in the market.

EUR/USD currently maintains a bearish bias, as highlighted by the alignment of its short-term moving averages. The 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 10-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) both point lower, signaling near-term selling pressure. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) also supports this bearish view, adding weight to the downside outlook. In contrast, the longer-term 100-day and 200-day SMAs indicate a more supportive backdrop, suggesting that the broader trend remains mixed.
