EUR/USD technical analysis: Rising odds for a test of 2019 lows near 1.1100 in the short-term

EUR/USD remains well into the negative territory, reversing at the same time two consecutive weekly closes with gains.
The bearish stance is expected to prevail as long as the pair navigates below the key multi-month resistance line at 1.1291.

EUR/USD's technical picture keeps favoring the bears. The pair is heading to a losing close after two consecutive winning weeks.

Its inability to clear the critical 1.1250/60 band – where coincide monthly tops and the 55-day simple moving average – has opened the door to a return of sellers and the palpable chance of a visit to year-to-date lows in the 1.1100 neighbourhood in the next weeks.
