EUR/USD Price Forecast: 100-day SMA caps Euro recovery
- EUR/USD stalls near 100-day SMA after reclaiming 50-day average.
- Bullish RSI keeps upside bias alive despite Monday’s pullback.
- Break above 1.1600 exposes 200-day SMA and 1.1700.
The Euro is poised to end Monday’s session with losses of about 0.13% against the Greenback, as recent news points to a delay in talks between the US and Iran, while, from a technical perspective, EUR/USD stalled at the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near 1.1568.
EUR/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Overall, the EUR/USD is poised to consolidate further, though it is slightly tilted to the upside after buyers reclaimed the 50-day SMA. Momentum confirms the short-term upward bias, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
That said, the first resistance for EUR/USD is the 100-day SMA. A breach of the latter will expose 1.1600, followed by the 200-day SMA at 1.1629. Once those two levels are removed, the next target is the 1.1700 psychological figure.
On the flip side, if EUR/USD drops below 1.1500, a pullback towards the 50-day SMA at 1.1469 is on the cards. Below, the next area of interest is the 1.1400 mark, followed by the July 28 swing low of 1.1353.
