EUR/USD Price Forecast: Bears Flirt with 61.8% Fibo. support near 1.1775 area
- EUR/USD drifts lower during the Asian session amid a modest USD strength.
- The bearish technical setup backs the case for further near-term depreciation.
- The pivotal 200-day SMA support is the last line of defence for bullish traders.
The EUR/USD pair extends the previous day's late pullback from the 1.1835 region and attracts some follow-through selling during the Asian session on Tuesday. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.1775-1.1770 area, down nearly 0.15% for the day amid a modest US Dollar (USD) strength.
Bearish traders now await a sustained break and acceptance below the 61.7% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent goodish rebound from a technically significant 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) support, tested in January. This is followed by last week's swing low, around the 1.1745-1.1740 region, below which the EUR/USD pair could resume its recent corrective slide from the vicinity of the 1.2100 mark, or the highest level since June 2021, touched last month.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram has deepened on the negative side, suggesting the MACD line sits below the Signal line near the zero mark and pointing to building bearish pressure. The Relative Strength Index stands at 46, below the 50 midline, reflecting mild bearish momentum without oversold conditions. This, in turn, backs the case for further losses towards the 78.6% retracement level support, around the 1.1695 region.
That said, the 200-day SMA trends modestly higher at 1.1658, highlighting a still supportive long-term backdrop. The EUR/USD pair holds above this gauge, which keeps the broader bias underpinned while the slope of the SMA rises.
