Digital euro momentum boosts sentiment and euro positioning

Recent progress on the digital euro initiative is a major development for the euro vs US dollar currency pair, with the Council of the European Union formally agreeing on its position to enable a digital euro as a complementary payment option supported by the European Central Bank. The proposed laws prioritize privacy, holding limits, and maintaining access to cash, while ECB surveys show growing willingness among consumers to adopt a digital euro. These regulatory moves are directly relevant to the pairing, supporting sentiment for the euro.

Uptrend confirmed as support holds and momentum signals remain strong

Technically, immediate dynamic support is established at the Ichimoku Kijun ($1.1679). The nearest resistance lies just above the day’s current high, near $1.1800. Momentum indicators reinforce the bullish tone: MACD and ADX both support continued upward movement, RSI and CCI show strong buyer dominance without extreme overbought signals, while Stoch RSI approaches overbought on some timeframes and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) points to clear intraday buying strength. The Awesome Oscillator is also aligned with this uptrend. Intraday price action, including a minor opening gap higher, reflects persistent bullish momentum and strength toward the session highs.

Further gains probable as short-term resistance faces test

Looking ahead to the short term, EUR/USD is likely to remain within a range of $1.1766 to $1.1788, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. There is a very high probability, above 80%, of further upward movement. A bullish breakout could see resistance at $1.1788 tested, while a bearish scenario would likely only unfold if support at $1.1679 fails, which appears unlikely given current signals.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the EUR/USD’s technical and sentiment backdrop as supportive but not without downside risk. He notes that bullish momentum is clear across major indicators, reinforced by positive regulatory sentiment around the digital euro. However, Kharitonov remains cautious as support at $1.1679 must hold for the trend to persist. "Base case remains bullish above $1.1679, but I stay defensive and only trust upside while that support is intact."

Last time, analysts noted that EUR/USD is trading above all key moving averages with bullish momentum across multiple timeframes, while daily MACD and ADX continue to show strong buy signals despite neutral readings from oscillators such as RSI and CCI. The pair remains confined within a tight intraday range between closely-watched resistance and support levels, with a sideways bias prevailing unless a breakout above resistance occurs.
