EUR/USD Price Forecast: Bears crack 100-day SMA, eye 1.1500
- EUR/USD breaks 100-day SMA as sellers regain momentum.
- Bearish RSI points lower while the 50-day SMA guards the downside.
- Break below 1.1500 exposes 1.1450 and 1.1353 next.
The Euro (EUR) extends its losses against the US Dollar (USD) on Tuesday, sliding below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.1555, opening the door to further downside, with sellers setting their sights on Monday’s low of 1.1523. The EUR/USD trades at 1.1548, slightly above the 50-day SMA of 1.1530.
EUR/USD Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
The pair seems poised to consolidate in the short term, finding support at the 50-day SMA, but the rally was capped by the 100-day SMA. Momentum, as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), is bearish and trending lower, indicating that sellers are strengthening.
If EUR/USD dives below the 50-day SMA, it could challenge 1.1500. A breach of the latter would expose the 1.1450 psychological milestone and the July 28 swing low at 1.1353. On further weakness, the year-to-date low is up next at 1.1324.
On the other hand, for EUR/USD to recover, buyers must reclaim the 100-day SMA at 1.1555. On further strength, the next area of interest is 1.1600, immediately followed by the 200-day SMA at 1.1632 and by 1.1650.
