EUR/USD Price Forecast: Remains near 1.1750 barrier, upper descending channel boundary
- EUR/USD tests the upper boundary of the descending channel around 1.1760.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index holding above the midpoint signals neutral-to-bullish momentum.
- Both moving averages are trending upward, with the nine-EMA above the 50-day EMA, confirming a bullish setup.
EUR/USD edges lower after registering over 0.5% gains in the previous session, trading around 1.1740 during the Asian hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the pair remains close to the upper boundary of the descending channel pattern, suggesting a potential bullish reversal.
The EUR/USD pair is above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA, keeping a positive short-term bias. Both averages slope higher, with the nine-EMA above the 50-day EMA, reinforcing a bullish structure. Trend studies remain supportive as the 50-day EMA rises and price trades comfortably above it. The nine-day EMA continues to track higher and caps shallow pullbacks.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator at 58 (neutral) remains above the midline as momentum has eased modestly. RSI above 50 confirms balanced-to-bullish momentum.
A sustained topside break above the upper boundary of the descending channel around 1.1760 could extend the advance toward the three-month high of 1.1808, which was recorded on December 24, while continued strength would keep buyers attentive to higher resistance at 1.1918, the highest level since June 2021.
A slip back through the confluence around the nine-day EMA at 1.1695 and 50-day EMA at 1.1678 would tilt risk toward the seven-week low at 1.1589, set on December 1, followed by the lower boundary of the descending channel around 1.1570.
