EUR/USD Price Forecast: Drops below 200-day SMA, targets 1.1500 level

  • EUR/USD drops 0.38% to 1.1567 after failing at the 200-day SMA near 1.1672.
  • Break below 1.1500 could expose 1.1468 and 1.1450 support levels.
  • Bulls must reclaim 1.1600 to retest the 200-day SMA and 1.1700 resistance.

The EUR/USD tumbles for the second straight day after clashing with the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.1672 on Tuesday, due to overall US Dollar strength. Speculation that the Fed won’t cut rates in the short term and high US Treasury yields boosted the Dollar, a headwind for the shared currency. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 1.1567, down 0.38%.

EUR/USD Price Forecast: Technical Outlook

The EUR/USD has been trading sideways after peaking at around 1.2082 on January 27 before retracing towards the 1.1700 area. Since then, the pair achieved a successive series of lower highs and lower lows, bottoming at 1.1507, before bouncing off the lows towards the current exchange rate.

As of writing, the EUR/USD trade is below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.1672, suggesting that in the long term the pair turned bearish, after clearing the 200-day SMA on March 3.

For a bearish continuation, the EUR/USD must clear the 1.1500 figure. If broken, the next area of interest would be the November 5, 2025, daily low at 1.1468, followed by 1.1450. On further weakness, the August 1, 2025, low emerges as the next line of demand at 1.1391.

Conversely, bulls must regain 1.1600 before challenging the 200-day SMA at 1.1672. Once those two levels are surpassed, the next line of supply will be at 1.1700.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation
We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”
9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?
The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
