EUR/USD Price Forecast: Eyes nine-day EMA barrier after rebounding from 1.1600

  • EUR/USD may navigate the region around the seven-month low of 1.1468.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 35 signals sustained bearish pressure.
  • The initial resistance lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.1686.

EUR/USD gains ground after registering modest losses in the previous session, trading around 1.1620 during the Asian hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests an ongoing bearish bias as the pair remains within the descending channel pattern.

The near-term bias is mildly bearish as spot holds below the short-term nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and presses under the flattening 50-day group.

The momentum indicator 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 35 stays below the 50 midline, indicating persistent bearish pressure rather than oversold capitulation, which keeps the focus on further downside as long as price remains capped beneath the short-term averages.

On the downside, the EUR/USD pair may navigate the region around the seven-month low of 1.1468, followed by the lower boundary of the descending channel around 1.1440.

The EUR/USD may target the initial resistance at the nine-day EMA of 1.1686, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.1753 and the upper descending channel boundary around 1.1790.

Further advances above the descending channel would cause the emergence of the bullish bias and support the EUR/USD pair to explore the area around 1.2082, the highest level since June 2021.
