EUR/USD Price Analysis: Retreats towards 1.0730 support confluence

EUR/USD eases from intraday high, pares the first daily gain in three.
Clear downside break of short-term ascending trend line, steady RSI keeps sellers hopeful.

EUR/USD takes a U-turn from the intraday high while declining to 1.0770 during the mid-Asian session on Monday.

In doing so, the major currency pair consolidation the first daily gains in three while justifying the previous day’s downside break of a one-week-old ascending trend line amid steady RSI (14) line.

However, a convergence of the 50-DMA and the 10-DMA, around 1.0730, appears a tough nut to crack for the EUR/USD bears, especially amid bullish MACD signals.

Even if the quote drops below 1.0730, tops marked during early March around 1.690 could challenge the pair sellers before directing them to an upward-sloping support line from early January, around 1.0560 by the press time.

Meanwhile, the EUR/USD buyers remain off the table unless the quote remains below the previous support line, around 1.0820 by the press time.

Even so, multiple tops marked around 1.0930 becomes crucial for the bulls to tackle before eyeing the yearly high surrounding 1.1033.

Overall, EUR/USD is likely to grind lower but an area between the aforementioned DMA convergence and the support-turned-resistance line appears the key for the pair traders to watch.

The pair, however, remains below the mid-155.00s as bulls seem hesitant ahead of the Fed decision later today and the BoJ meeting, starting on Thursday.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.
