Highlights

EUR/USD trades at $1.1721, below MA-20 ($1.1821) and MA-50 ($1.1792), indicating short- and medium-term bearish control.
Momentum indicators (MACD, RSI 42.97, CCI –77.44, Stoch RSI 13.90) show predominantly bearish tones but oversold conditions point to risk of a short-term bounce.
Key levels: MA-200 at $1.1697 offers long-term support; a break below exposes $1.1667 and $1.1544, while resistance stands at $1.1835.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the EUR/USD is trapped under short- and medium-term moving averages, confirming persistent downward pressure. He remains skeptical due to oversold technicals clashing with weak ADX and a lack of positive news catalysts. The price clings to support at $1.1697, exposing it to further declines. Negative momentum dominates while sentiment is subdued in the absence of fresh news. "Until buyers regain control, I see downside risks prevailing and would avoid aggressive long positions here."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, emphasizes that the euro’s technical structure still favors recovery despite today’s dip. He sees robust weekly signals and a clear probability for price appreciation in the coming days. Karapetjanc suggests the market offers attractive setups as the baseline scenario targets consolidation above $1.17. "With bullish indicators aligning, I expect further growth and see opportunity for tactical upside trades above the $1.17 handle."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, takes a scenario-based approach and highlights the tension between short-term bearish momentum and oversold oscillators. He sees potential for a tactical bounce if $1.1697 holds, but cautions against assuming a lasting reversal. Mehta states, "A contrarian entry may be considered on a confirmed rebound, but risk management remains crucial given the overall trend."

Bearish momentum persists as oversold signals hint at rebound risk

Momentum indicators present a predominantly bearish tone, as the daily MACD signals a sell and the ADX remains neutral at low levels, indicating weak trend strength. RSI (42.97), CCI (–77.44), and Stoch RSI (13.90) all point to oversold conditions, highlighting the risk of a potential short-term bounce, though BBP suggests intraday sellers remain dominant. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not add directional confirmation. The current price is near today’s low within a moderate intraday range, indicating persistent pressure after the open. There is a divergence between classic momentum (bearish) and some oscillators (oversold), which could signal a brief pause or minor rebound, but overall, downside momentum is still in place.

Previously it was reported that EUR/USD is exhibiting persistent short-term and medium-term bearish momentum, with price positioned below both the 20- and 50-day moving averages but still holding above longer-term support, as technical indicators—including MACD, ADX, and multiple oscillators—remain firmly negative and suggest an oversold condition. Immediate resistance is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level, while volatility is contained; the pair is expected to consolidate with a downside bias unless support at $1.1690 is broken or a move above resistance triggers short covering.
