EUR/USD is trading with a slight downward bias on Friday after a moderate rebound in the US dollar (USD) weighs on the euro (EUR), and price action is compact of further buying after failing to sustain a break above the 1.1600 level.
At the time of writing, the pair is hovering around 1.1542, down about 0.38% on the day, although it remains on track to close the week in positive territory after two consecutive weekly losses.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the value of the dollar against a basket of six major currencies, is trading near 99.67, recovering from Thursday’s decline of about 1.10%.
From a technical perspective, the daily chart suggests that EUR/USD remains slightly bearish in the compact term as the pair continues to trade below the 50-day, 100-day and 200-day basic moving averages (SMAs).
Price action continues to incorporate a sequence of lower highs, highlighting continued selling pressure and keeping a broader correction phase from the 1.2000 area in play.
Meanwhile, momentum remains tender, with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) sitting around 43, indicating continued downward pressure after the recent oversold dip below 30, but without a powerful trend acceleration.
On the other hand, reaching 1.1600 constitutes immediate resistance, before the key confluence zone around 1.1670-1.1730.
A decisive break above this region would negate the current bearish structure and change the bias back to bullish, opening the door towards February highs near 1.1900, with a possible extension beyond the psychological level of 1.2000.
The downside is immediate support near the 1.1400 level. A break below this level could trigger a deeper corrective move towards 1.1300-1.1200.
