Euro vs Bangladeshi Taka (EUR/BDT) is trading at BDT137.184 following a modest daily decline. The pair currently sits below its key moving averages, reflecting ongoing weakness in the short and long term.
Highlights
- Bangladesh Bank injected $205 million into commercial banks to provide USD liquidity and support the taka.
- The remittance dollar rate dropped below Tk125, indicating increased USD supply in both formal and informal markets.

Bangladesh Bank’s FX auction bolsters taka and curbs euro gains
Bangladesh Bank sold $205 million from its foreign exchange reserves to commercial banks via auction, according to Tbsnews. This injection of USD liquidity eased upward pressure on the Euro/BDT pair by increasing availability of foreign currency, thereby supporting the taka. Secondary market effects include the dollar rate from remittance houses falling below Tk125, also reported by Tbsnews, which signals improved USD supply across both formal and informal channels and further limits upward momentum for Euro vs Bangladeshi Taka.
Sustained bearish momentum as sellers hold below major resistance
On the technical side, EUR/BDT remains well below the MA-20 at BDT137.631, MA-50 at BDT138.32, and the longer-term MA-200 at BDT141.539 on the hourly chart. The Ichimoku Kijun currently stands at BDT137.74 as immediate resistance. Momentum readings remain weak: both MACD and ADX generate sell signals, while RSI and Stoch RSI are positioned in neutral zones. CCI is in the oversold zone, pointing to the risk of selling exhaustion but lacking a guarantee of reversal. Sellers dominate intraday momentum, highlighted by Bull/Bear Power at -0.138 and confirmation from the Awesome Oscillator.
Downside conviction prevails amid tight support and low breakout odds
In the short term, the forecasted trading range is set between BDT136.498 and BDT137.87, representing the typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move stands at 21%, while the likelihood of further downside is 79%. Consolidation within this corridor is the baseline scenario; a bullish breakout would require a move above resistance at BDT137.74, whereas sustained losses would follow a breach below BDT136.498.
Earlier, analysts noted that EUR/BDT was entrenched in a bearish technical structure, with downside risk prevailing amid central bank intervention. The latest liquidity injection by Bangladesh Bank and the resulting easing in informal dollar rates reinforce ongoing pressure on the pair, making a sustained move below BDT136.498 the key downside risk to monitor in the near term.
