Highlights

EUR/USD trades above its 20-day average, showing short-term bullish momentum against medium- and long-term bearish pressure.
Momentum indicators remain predominantly bearish, with the MACD and ADX supporting continued selling and Stochastic RSI signaling possible downside correction.
The pair is projected to range between $1.119 and $1.1318 over five days, with a 68% probability of a downward move.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, takes a cautious stance on EUR/USD. He sees the pair displaying only minor bullish momentum above the 20-day average while staying capped by the more decisive 50- and 200-day moving averages. Kharitonov notes that momentum remains fragile, with the majority of technical indicators either neutral or outright bearish. The lack of fresh news only underscores the market's vulnerability to downside corrections. "Given clear resistance and weak overall structure, traders should avoid getting caught in short-lived rallies and maintain a defensive approach."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, finds opportunity in EUR/USD’s current setup. He observes ongoing short-term bullish momentum above the 20-day average and sees constructive signs despite missing news catalysts. Karapetjanc emphasizes the chance for further gains if resistance at $1.1264 breaks, reflecting a strong technical structure ready to deliver upside moves. "Bullish structure remains intact, and a push above key resistance could offer multiple trading setups in the days ahead."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, maintains a balanced perspective on EUR/USD. He notes the pair is holding a short-term bullish stance above the 20-day moving average, yet faces persistent bearish momentum on broader timeframes. Mehta points to the overbought Stochastic RSI as signaling a potential tactical reversal or contrarian short play. "A potential breakout or quick correction from current levels could set up attractive trades in either direction."

Bearish momentum persists despite technical support holding above 20-day average

EUR/USD is trading above its 20-day moving average at $1.1201, but remains below the 50-day at $1.1322 and the 200-day at $1.1512, indicating near-term bullish momentum in the context of broader medium- and long-term bearish trends. Resistance is evident at $1.1264, while immediate support is found at $1.1236 and the Ichimoku Kijun at $1.1192 offers an additional floor. Momentum indicators are mostly bearish: both the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) point to ongoing selling pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are neutral, while the Stochastic RSI is in the overbought zone, suggesting potential downside correction risk for that oscillator alone. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is marginally positive, indicating a slight intraday advantage for buyers. The pair opened flat and is currently trading near session highs, with intraday volatility at 0.69%.

Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/USD was exhibiting bullish momentum amid central bank policy divergence, with buyers testing key technical resistance. The current analysis confirms this dynamic but highlights a growing risk of downside correction, making the $1.1236 support level critical for traders monitoring the direction of the next significant move.
