Highlights

EUR/BRL remains under bearish technical pressure, with a projected range of R$5.78 to R$5.94 and downside risk prevailing.

Dividend tax fuels local equity outflows as macro drivers shift

Brazil introduced a new tax on dividends, resulting in a 27% decline in payouts by Brazilian companies through May. Although the tax primarily affects domestic equity distribution, the broader macroeconomic changes and capital flows in Brazil may influence the Euro vs Brazilian Real exchange rate. This adjustment in the domestic tax regime has accompanied a period of selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that EUR/BRL is experiencing sustained downside, with the price unable to reclaim any key moving average support. He sees technical momentum as fractured, with mixed indicators and a volatile, oversold backdrop pointing to uncertain direction. The recent tax-driven reduction in Brazilian dividend payouts adds macro pressure, aligning with bearish sentiment. Kharitonov stresses the lack of a clear recovery signal, warning that a break below R$5.78 could accelerate losses. "Selling pressure dominates and buyers need to stay cautious until the charts confirm a reversal above R$5.94."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights Brazil's move to tax dividends as a catalyst for fresh market dynamics and capital reallocation. He sees opportunity in changing macro flows and believes the longer-term structure supports new bullish setups if EUR/BRL retakes the R$5.94 level. The expert maintains that current volatility widens the potential for tactical entries. "If the pair confirms support above R$5.94, further growth is likely and the market offers setups for forward-looking traders."

Mixed momentum signals as key technical support zones are tested

EUR/BRL is currently trading below its 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (R$5.8988 and R$5.8531, respectively) as well as the long-term 200-day level (R$6.1000). This setup signals short- and medium-term pressure from sellers, with the closest dynamic support from Ichimoku Kijun near R$5.9005 and initial downside support aligning with the 50-day moving average. Momentum signals on the daily chart are mixed. MACD indicates strong bullish momentum, yet the Average Directional Index (ADX) shows a lack of clear trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic RSI both point to moderate selling pressure, while Commodity Channel Index (CCI) registers a neutral to slightly oversold condition. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) gives a slight edge to buyers, but oversold readings are present intraday. The daily movement sees the pair easing 0.60% from the open, after an early upside gap of roughly R$0.0194. Price is now near the low of its daily range and intraday volatility stands at 1.05%. This reflects persistent downside pressure after an initial bounce, with momentum and oscillators diverging.

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent downside risk and a lack of bullish catalysts were likely to keep EUR/BRL under pressure. The current divergence in daily momentum signals and ongoing macroeconomic adjustments in Brazil reinforce a cautious, wait-and-see approach, with traders advised to monitor for directional bias shifts as price action consolidates below key moving averages.
