EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Bearish pressure set to persist on Tuesday


  • EUR/USD is in a bear trend below its 200-period simple moving average.  
  • EUR/USD is under pressure trading near monthly lows below the 1.1500 figure after the market rejected the 50 and 100-period simple moving averages. While the market can have pullbacks near 1.1500, EUR/USD is set to remain under bearish pressure. Bears objective is to drive the market near 1.1430 (October low), 1.1400 and ultimately 1.1300 figure (2018 low).
  • A bull breakout above 1.1530 would be a warning signal for bears.
