Highlights

Central bank reserve dip as euro liquidity profile shifts

According to the European Central Bank, the net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency declined by EUR 0.7 billion to EUR 349.6 billion during the week ending October 9, 2026. This adjustment reflects a brief reduction in the ECB's foreign reserve holdings, which can influence the liquidity profile of the euro in global markets. While the scale of this change is moderate, such central bank actions are closely tracked by market participants as potential indicators of subtle shifts in institutional demand for the euro versus other currencies.

Technical pressure persists as downside gains momentum

EUR/BRL is positioned below the MA-20 at R$5.6264, the MA-50 at R$5.5997, and the MA-200 at R$5.9049, with the Ichimoku Kijun acting as immediate resistance at R$5.6145. Price action remains compressed between this resistance and the lower support at R$5.5695. Among momentum indicators, RSI registers at 42.17 and ADX also gives a Sell signal, indicating generally weak buyer interest. Both Stochastic RSI and CCI are in oversold territory, highlighting a stretched downside move, while MACD and the Awesome Oscillator are neutral. Bull/Bear Power shows sellers remain dominant in the intraday momentum setup.

Sideways path likely as volatility expectations narrow

For the coming two to three sessions, EUR/BRL is projected to fluctuate within R$5.5695 to R$5.6255, defining a typical volatility band relative to current levels. Probabilistically, the pair shows a 62% chance of moving lower and a 38% probability of an upward move. The baseline scenario is for the price to trade sideways within this corridor. A break above R$5.6145 could open the way for a test of higher resistance, while a move below the R$5.5695 support would likely signal renewed selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, observes that EUR/BRL remains technically weak, with price action still capped below its main moving averages. He notes the ECB’s small reduction in foreign reserves, but sees little immediate impact, as momentum and sentiment indicators remain predominantly negative. Kharitonov emphasizes that downside risk is elevated while sellers control the short-term trend. "Unless EUR/BRL breaks above R$5.6145, I expect this pair to trade defensively within the defined range."

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/BRL was entrenched in a persistent bearish trend, with sellers maintaining control and downside risks prevailing. The latest session reinforces this outlook amid continued weakness below key moving averages, and traders should monitor R$5.5695 as a decisive support level for potential renewed downside momentum.
