EUR/USD: Bearish Momentum Deepens Below 1.1550 as Dollar Strength Dominates
EUR/USD closed the session at 1.1538, trading within a narrow intraday range of 1.1549–1.1535, reflecting continued weakness and subdued volatility. The pair remains under sustained downward pressure amid renewed U.S. dollar strength and fragile Eurozone sentiment, maintaining a clear bearish outlook below 1.1600.
Technical Overview
Moving Averages – Bearish Configuration
The 15-day moving average (1.1578) has crossed below the 20-day moving average (1.1592), confirming near-term downside momentum.
Both averages are trending lower, reinforcing seller dominance. Any short-term recovery attempts are likely to face resistance around 1.1600–1.1650.
Trend Structure
EUR/USD continues to print lower highs and lower lows since mid-October, consolidating beneath the 1.1600 zone. The recent break below 1.1550 exposes the next key support area at 1.1450–1.1400. A sustained move below this region could open the door to accelerated bearish momentum.
RSI Momentum
The 14-day RSI currently reads 41.67, remaining below the 50-neutral mark, signaling continued bearish control. However, it is not yet in oversold territory, suggesting further room for downside extension before any technical correction.
Price Behavior
A series of small-bodied bearish candles with consistent lower closes indicates a steady downward drift. A daily close below 1.1500 would validate a deeper bearish continuation, while any rebounds are likely to stall near the 1.1600 pivot resistance.
Macro & Market Context
U.S. Dollar Strength
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continues to trade firm near the 100.00 level, supported by upbeat U.S. economic data and hawkish commentary from the Federal Reserve. Elevated U.S. Treasury yields sustain the dollar’s advantage over its G10 counterparts, keeping EUR/USD under persistent pressure.
Eurozone Outlook
Economic data from the Eurozone remains lackluster, with slowing growth and faster-than-expected disinflation limiting the European Central Bank’s ability to maintain a hawkish policy stance. Expectations of potential policy easing in 2025 further weigh on the euro’s sentiment.
Yield & Policy Divergence
The widening rate differential between the U.S. and Eurozone continues to attract flows toward dollar-denominated assets, underpinning the ongoing euro weakness.
Key Technical Levels
Zone Description
1.1600 Immediate resistance & short-term pivot
1.1650 Next resistance; former support turned resistance
1.1500 Immediate psychological and technical support
1.1400 Deeper support; structural low from February
Outlook & Trade Strategy
Overall Bias: Bearish
Preferred Strategy: Sell on rallies near 1.1580–1.1600, targeting 1.1450, with a potential extension toward 1.1400 if bearish momentum persists.
Invalidation Level: A daily close above 1.1650 would neutralize the current bearish view and suggest a possible shift to range-bound or recovery mode.
Key Takeaways
Momentum: Strong bearish trend below 1.1600
Setup: Sell-on-rally favored toward 1.1450
Risk Level: Watch for reversal only above 1.1650
