EUR/USD retreats from the weekly high of 1.0789, which was recorded on Monday, snapping a four-day winning streak. The pair trades lower around 1.0770 during the Asian hours on Tuesday with positioning above the immediate support at the psychological level of 1.0750.

A break below the latter could put weight on the EUR/USD pair to navigate the further support region around the psychological level of 1.0700, in conjunction with February’s low at 1.0694, which was observed on February 14.

The EUR/USD pair could find the key resistance zone around the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0798 lined up with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.0799 and the psychological level of 1.0800.

A firm breakthrough above the resistance zone could exert upward support on the EUR/USD pair to explore the further major barrier at 1.0850, to revisit February’s high at 1.0897 aligned with the psychological level of 1.0900.

The technical analysis of the EUR/USD pair suggests a mixed outlook in the market. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below the 50 mark, indicating a bearish momentum. However, the lagging indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), although still below the centerline, is above the signal line, suggesting a tepid momentum in the market.

Given these conflicting signals, market participants may choose to await further confirmation from the MACD indicator on the directional trend for the EUR/USD pair.

EUR/USD deflates to fresh lows, targets 1.1600

The selling pressure on EUR/USD now gathers extra pace, prompting the pair to hit fresh multi-week lows in the 1.1625-1.1620 band on Friday. The continuation of the downward bias comes in response to further gains in the US Dollar as market participants continue to assess the mixed release of US Nonfarm Payrolls in December.

GBP/USD breaks below 1.3400, challenges the 200-day SMA
