EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro hammered down to monthly lows as 1.1400 becomes the new battleground

  • EUR/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) as it plunged no a new October low. 
  • EUR/USD is trading at levels not seen since mid-August as the market is trading far away from its 50, 100 and 200 SMA. The RSI and Stochastic indicators entered the oversold zone while the MACD remains bearish. As the 1.1400 is likely going to be the last bastion before a potential move down to 1.1300 (2018 low), the 1.1400 level should become the next battleground for both bulls and bears. Therefore a sideways consolidation is to be expected before the next directional move. 
  • Bears would need a close below 1.1400 on a daily closing basis while bulls will try to regain 1.1430 level.
