Downtrend, oversold after Monday's breakdown · RSI 27 · price 1.11562

Lower highs since Friday's 1.1243; last week's 1.1165–1.1243 range broken to the downside.

EUR/USD gapped lower at the week open and bounced to 1.1217 in the Asia session. It then broke the 1.1200 pivot through London and extended in NY to a week low at 1.1151, driven by broad USD strength, hawkish Fed talk and French fiscal stress. Monday's drop took out the 1.1165 wed low and broke last week's range, leaving lower highs since Friday and price ~15 pips under EMA(20) near 1.1171, while RSI(14) near 27 is oversold and late NY trade has compressed into a 1.1151–1.1161 band.

Support: 1.11511

Resistance: 1.11645, 1.1171, 1.1200

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above the 1.1165 wed low and EMA(20) near 1.1171 would put the range break in question
  • Failure to hold the 1.1151 week low extends the fri-mon drop toward 1.1145
  • Recovery through the 1.1186 38.2% retracement of the fri-mon drop and the 1.1200 pivot, along the lower highs line, invalidates the downtrend read

Downtrend, oversold after range break · RSI 24 · price 1.11569

Lower highs 1.1243 → 1.1217; Wed–Fri floor near 1.1165 broken.

Monday's Asia-session bounce from the 1.1184 weekly open stalled at 1.1217 (monday high), extending the lower-highs sequence from Friday's 1.1243. Supply then pressed price through London and into the NY session, and the drop broke the 1.1165 floor that had held the Wed–Fri range. A firm USD on oil-driven haven demand and hawkish Fed talk, plus French fiscal stress, kept EUR heavy into a fresh week low at 1.1151. Price sits below the ema20 near 1.1170 and EMA50, with RSI(14) oversold around 24 and no bullish divergence yet on the Friday-Monday drop.

Support: 1.11511, 1.1145

Resistance: 1.1170, 1.11842, 1.12167

What it said to watch

  • EZ HICP Tue 06:00 UTC (f/c 3.3% YoY): a hot print against crowded EUR shorts could trigger a squeeze toward the ema20 and weekly open
  • Failure to hold the 1.1151 week low exposes the 1.1145 16m low area
  • H1 close back above the 1.1184 weekly open would negate the range-break read
  • A break above the lower-highs line from Friday toward the 1.1217 monday high would mark the 50–61.8% retrace of the Friday-Monday drop

21:02 UTC

Downtrend, fresh lows into the NY close · RSI 32 · price 1.11547

Lower highs since Friday; 1.1165 range floor broken.

Lower highs from Friday's 1.1243 peak to the monday high at 1.1217 followed a gap-down weekly open at 1.1184. During NY hours today the pair broke through the prior low at 1.1165, which had been the Wednesday–Thursday range floor. The Friday–Monday leg came as USD stayed bid on firm oil and hawkish Fed commentary while French fiscal stress weighed on EUR. Price is pinned below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) near 32, and the session low at 1.1152 sits just above the 16m low zone around 1.1145–1.1150.

Support: 1.1152, 1.1145

Resistance: 1.1165, 1.1184, 1.1217

  • EZ HICP Tue 06:00 UTC: a hot print against a crowded EUR short could lift price back through the prior low at 1.1165
  • H1 close above the weekly open at 1.1184 and the lower-highs trendline would neutralise the breakdown read
  • Acceptance below the 16m low at 1.1145 extends the lower-low sequence; failure to hold the session low at 1.1152 is the first sign

20:02 UTC

Downtrend, extended and oversold · RSI 18 · price 1.11533

Lower highs since Friday; Wed–Fri range broken lower.

EUR/USD gapped below Friday's 1.1202 close at the weekly open. After a brief Asia-session lift to the 1.1217 Monday high, it sold off through London and NY, cutting the Wednesday low at 1.1165 that had floored the 1.1165–1.1243 range all week. French fiscal stress and a bid USD frame the move. Price now sits at the Monday low of 1.1153, right on the 16-month low zone, below EMA(20) near 1.1172 with RSI(14) deeply oversold, and the lower-highs line from Friday's 1.1243 high still caps the structure.

Support: 1.1153, 1.1145

Resistance: 1.1165, 1.1184, 1.1217

  • Euro-area HICP Tue 06:00 UTC (f/c 3.3% YoY) could materially shift this read
  • Hourly close below the 1.1145 16-month low extends the lower-low sequence
  • Recovery back above the 1.1165 Wednesday low and the 1.1184 weekly open would mark the range break as a false break
  • A break of the lower-highs line from Friday's high, or a reclaim of the 1.1217 Monday high, would undo the lower-high structure
  • US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC and Lagarde speeches Wed are further event risk

19:02 UTC

Downtrend, extending to fresh window lows · RSI 30 · price 1.11565

Lower highs from Friday high; range break below 1.1165.

Lower highs run from Friday high at 1.1243 to the Monday high at 1.1217, set in the Asia session. Price faded from London open, and an NY-session drop broke the 1.1165 prior low that had held since Wednesday. That range break printed a Monday low at 1.1154 as the USD stayed bid on Middle East tensions and French fiscal stress weighed on the euro. Price sits about 20 pips under EMA(20) with RSI(14) near 30, just above the 1.1150 17-month low area.

Support: 1.11541, 1.1150

Resistance: 1.11645, 1.1178, 1.12167

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above the 1.1165 prior low would mark the range break as a false break
  • Failure to hold the 1.1150 17-month low area confirms a lower-low toward 1.1145
  • Reclaim of EMA(20) near 1.1178 and the Monday lower highs trendline would ease the downtrend read; the Monday high at 1.1217 caps the structure
  • Euro-area HICP Tue 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read, with US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC to follow

Downtrend, fresh window lows · RSI 31 · price 1.11591

Lower highs from Friday's peak; week range floor broken.

Lower highs run from Friday's 1.1243 peak to the 1.1217 monday high set in Asia, after a gap-down open at 1.1184. The slide ground through London and extended in NY to a 1.1154 monday low, below the 1.1165 wed low that had floored the week's range. Price sits below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) near 31. A firm USD on Iran/oil haven demand and French fiscal stress on EUR framed the move, leaving the 1.1150 16-month low just beneath.

Support: 1.11541, 1.1150

Resistance: 1.11645, 1.11842, 1.12167

  • H1 close back above the 1.1165 wed low would mark the range break as a false break
  • Acceptance below the 1.1150 16-month low extends the downtrend into fresh lows

17:02 UTC

Downtrend, fresh lower low · RSI 29 · price 1.11584

Lower high at 1.1217, break below the Wednesday 1.1165 low.

Monday's Asia-session high at 1.1217 formed a lower high beneath Friday's 1.1243. Selling then built through London and extended in NY hours, taking out Wednesday's 1.1165 prior low to print a fresh session low at 1.1154. The slide tracks a firm USD near 102.35 and French fiscal strain weighing on EUR; price sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with RSI(14) near 29 after a 63-pip leg off the Monday high.

Support: 1.11541, 1.1145

Resistance: 1.11645, 1.11842, 1.12167

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above the 1.1165 prior low would turn the range break into a false break
  • Weekly open at 1.1184, aligned with EMA(20) and the 50% fib of the Monday leg, is the first area to watch for rejection on any rebound
  • Failure to hold the session low at 1.1154 exposes uob support at 1.1145
  • Lower-highs trendline from Friday's 1.1243 through the monday high at 1.1217 caps the structure; a close above it breaks the lower-high sequence

16:02 UTC

Downtrend, pressing range floor · RSI 30 · price 1.11726

Lower high at 1.1217; 1.1165–1.1243 range floor under test.

Wednesday's London-session selloff took EUR/USD from 1.1265 to the 1.1165 Wed low. Price has since held a 1.1165–1.1243 range, with the Friday high capping the rebound. Monday's Asia-session push to the 1.1217 Monday high on the energy-ceasefire headlines stalled near the 50% retracement of that drop. A firmer USD and renewed French fiscal worries then drove a steady slide through London and NY, below the weekly open and EMA(20). The Monday low at 1.1170 now sits just above the Wed low, with RSI(14) near 30.

Support: 1.11695, 1.11645

Resistance: 1.11842, 1.12167, 1.12425

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below the 1.1165 Wed low breaks the range floor and confirms a lower-low
  • Recovery above the 1.1184 weekly open and EMA(20) returns price to mid-range
  • Break of the lower-high trendline and the 1.1217 Monday high reopens the 1.1243 Friday high

Downside pressure, lower highs inside range · RSI 30 · price 1.11726

Lower highs pressing a flat 1.1165–1.1170 floor.

Monday's Asia session pop to the 1.1217 Asia high, driven by the energy-ceasefire headlines, met rejection. The move was fully reversed through London and NY as French fiscal stress and a firm USD kept the euro offered. That leaves a lower high beneath the 1.1243 Friday high, with price pressing the 1.1170 session low just above Wednesday's 1.1165 swing low, the floor of the week's range. Price trades below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) near 30, and the weekly open at 1.1184 now caps intraday bounces.

Support: 1.11695, 1.11645

Resistance: 1.11842, 1.12167, 1.12425

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below the 1.1165 swing low breaks the range floor and confirms a lower-low
  • Recovery back above the 1.1184 weekly open and EMA(20) eases the downside pressure; the 1.1217 Asia high is the next lower-high marker
  • Lower-highs line from the Friday high caps unless cleared on a close
  • Euro-area HICP Tue 06:00 UTC (f/c 3.3% YoY) and Fed's Hammack today 16:50 UTC could materially shift this read

Downtrend inside range, pressing the floor · RSI 31 · price 1.11757

Lower highs (1.1243 → 1.1217) above a flat 1.1165–1.1173 floor.

Monday's Asia-session rally was rejected at the monday high of 1.1217, a lower high below Friday's 1.1243 prior high. Price then slid through London and NY hours back under the weekly open and ema20 to test the session low at 1.1173. That puts price on the range floor that has held since Wednesday's London-open drop, with RSI(14) near 31. The French fiscal premium and a firm USD into US CPI week have kept each bounce short-lived.

Support: 1.11727, 1.11645, 1.1150

Resistance: 1.11842, 1.1192, 1.12167

  • H1 close below the 1.1165 week low breaks the range floor and exposes the 1.1150 round number

Down-leaning range, lower highs since Friday · RSI 34 · price 1.11764

Lower highs pressing a flat 1.1165–1.1173 floor.

Lower highs since Friday's 1.1243 early-London peak. Monday's Asia-session bounce stalled at the 1.1217 monday high, near the 61.8% of the Friday–Monday decline, and London then sold it back through the weekly open at 1.1184 as haven USD demand returned on Middle East tensions in holiday-thinned trade. Price sits below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) near 34, pressing the monday low at 1.1173 just above Wednesday's 1.1165 week low. That floor has held three separate tests this week.

  • H1 close below the 1.1165 week low breaks the range floor and exposes the 1.1145 16m low
  • Recovery above the 1.1184 weekly open and the 1.1202 fri close would stall the lower-high sequence; the 1.1217 monday high caps the trendline of lower highs

Downtrend, lower highs into range floor · RSI 41 · price 1.11783

1.1165–1.1243 range since Wednesday, lower highs compressing toward the floor.

Since Wednesday's London-open selloff, EUR/USD has held a 1.1165–1.1243 range. Lower highs at Friday's 1.1243 and the 1.1217 monday high form a lower-high trendline, and Friday's peak stalled in the 61.8–78.6% retracement of the Wednesday drop. Monday's Asian bounce was rejected at that trendline, and London took price back below the weekly open and EMA(20) as Middle East headlines revived haven USD demand. The French fiscal premium keeps the pair pressing toward the thu low and week low, with RSI(14) sliding to ~40.

Support: 1.11716, 1.11645

Resistance: 1.11842, 1.11976, 1.12167

Downward drift inside weekly range · RSI 40 · price 1.11783

Lower highs since Friday, price back below weekly open.

EUR/USD has traded a 1.1165–1.1243 range since the London-led Tuesday–Wednesday drop from 1.1276. Friday's rebound stalled at 1.1243, between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracements of that drop, and Monday's Asian-session high at 1.1217 set another lower high. London selling today pushed price back below the 1.1184 weekly open and the EMA(20) near 1.1197, with RSI(14) near 40, as the hawkish-Fed USD bid and the French fiscal overhang cap rebounds in thin US-holiday trade.

Support: 1.11716, 1.11645

Resistance: 1.11842, 1.1197, 1.12167

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.1172 Thursday low exposes the 1.1165 week low; a break there would extend the lower-low sequence
  • An H1 close back above the 1.1184 weekly open and the ema20 near 1.1197 would neutralise today's London fade
  • A close above the 1.1217 Monday high breaks the lower-highs trendline from Friday's peak

Downtrend, consolidating above week low · RSI 36 · price 1.11802

Lower highs inside 1.1165–1.1243 band, rising lows line broken.

EUR/USD has been held in a 1.1165–1.1243 band since Wednesday's London-open drop. Highs are stepping lower, from Friday's 1.1243 to the 1.1217 Monday high, which stalled near the 50% retracement of the Tuesday–Wednesday decline. Monday's Asian bounce off the gap-down weekly open faded into the London session, and price has slipped below EMA(20) near 1.1197, the rising lows line and the 1.1184 weekly open, with RSI(14) in the mid-30s. French fiscal strain keeps EUR offered on thin holiday liquidity, leaving the 1.1172 thu low and the 1.1165 wed low as the next floor.

Since Wednesday's London-open slide, highs have stepped lower, from the 1.1243 Friday high (just beyond the 61.8% of the Tuesday–Wednesday drop) to the 1.1217 Asia high today. Lows at 1.1165 (wed low) and 1.1172 (thursday low) have held beneath. The Asia-session bounce on the Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire faded into London, putting price back below EMA(20) near 1.1201. RSI(14) sits around 44 and price is a few pips above the 1.1184 weekly open, with French fiscal stress and a firm USD capping rallies.

Support: 1.1184, 1.1172, 1.1165

Downtrend stalled, compressing below flat EMAs · RSI 50 · price 1.12023

Lower highs and higher lows since Wednesday, coiling near 1.1200.

The Tue–Wed drop from 1.1276 to the 1.1165 swing low accelerated at Wednesday's London open as French fiscal stress weighed on EUR. Since then the pair has compressed into lower highs (1.1276, Friday high 1.1243, Monday high 1.1217) and higher lows (1.1165, Thu low 1.1172, weekly open 1.1184). Monday's gap down to the weekly open filled in the Asian session on softer USD and oil relief, but the rally stalled below the 50% retracement, and price now sits just under a flat ema20 near 1.1205 with RSI(14) at 50 in holiday-thinned trade.

  • Failure to hold the 1.1184 weekly open exposes the 1.1172 thu low and the 1.1165 swing low along the higher-lows line
  • ema20 at 1.1205 is the pivot for the session; repeated closes back above it would shift the read toward range

Lower highs against higher lows, coiling near 1.1200.

Wednesday's London-open slide from 1.1227 printed the week low at 1.11645. Since then the pair has carved higher lows on Thursday and Friday under a sequence of lower highs: the 1.12764 week high, the 1.12425 Friday high and Monday's 1.12167 Asian high. Monday gapped below the 1.12015 Friday close to a 1.11838 monday low and filled it during the Asia session on the softer USD and energy-ceasefire relief. Price now sits on a flat EMA(20)/EMA(50) at the 38.2% retracement of the week's drop, with RSI(14) near 55.

Range-bound after Wednesday's drop, lows rising · RSI 53 · price 1.12026

Contracting range 1.1164–1.1242: higher lows, Friday lower high.

The window's dominant leg came at Wednesday's London open, a 110-pip slide from 1.1276 to the 1.1164 prior-week low. Price has since compressed on rising lows, and Friday's Asia push to the 1.1242 fri high was rejected above the 61.8% retracement and sold back through London and NY. Monday's Asia session gapped below Friday's close to the 1.1184 gap low, then recovered to the 1.1217 asia high as the energy ceasefire knocked oil lower and the USD softened; price now sits just under the flat ema cluster near 1.1205, with RSI(14) neutral around 53.

1.1165–1.1243 range below the 1.1276 prior-week high, with higher lows since Wednesday.

Wednesday's London-session selloff from the 1.1276 prior-week high to the 1.1165 prior-week low set the dominant move. Since then price has ranged below Friday's 1.1243 high, which faded through NY. Lows have stepped higher into Monday's 1.1184 weekly open. In Asia, Monday filled the weekend gap back above Friday's close as the USD eased with yields, stalling at the 1.1217 Asian high. Price now sits just above EMA(20) near the 38.2% retracement of the Wednesday selloff, with RSI(14) in the mid-50s.

Support: 1.12015, 1.11842, 1.11645

Resistance: 1.12167, 1.12425, 1.12764

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close below the weekly open at 1.1184 breaks the higher-lows line and puts the prior-week low at 1.1165 back in view
  • Failure to hold the Friday close at 1.1202 reopens the weekend gap and shifts the read back to the lower half of the range
  • Acceptance above the Asian high at 1.1217 and then Friday's high at 1.1243 would mark a range break, opening the path to the prior-week high at 1.1276
  • ECB's Vujčić speaks at 10:00 UTC today and euro-area HICP lands Tue 06:00 UTC (f/c 3.3% y/y); either could reset the range
  • US September CPI on Wed at 12:30 UTC is the larger USD-side risk to this read

Downtrend from prior-week high, momentum flattening · RSI 57 · price 1.12079

Contracting range: lower highs vs higher lows.

The dominant leg was Wednesday's London-open drop from Tuesday's 1.1276 prior-week high to the 1.1164 prior-week low, driven by French fiscal stress and a firm USD. Since then the pair has printed lower highs, first at the 1.1243 Friday high and then at the 1.1217 Asia high, while holding higher lows. Monday's weekly open at 1.1184 gapped 17 pips under the 1.1202 prior close, but the Asian range filled it as the USD softened on the Michigan sentiment miss. Price now sits on the 38.2% retrace near 1.1207, just above EMA(20) and at EMA(50), with RSI(14) mid-range near 57.

Support: 1.12015, 1.11842, 1.11645

Resistance: 1.12167, 1.12425, 1.12764

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above the 1.1217 Asia high and the lower-highs line near 1.1221 breaks the consolidation, putting the 1.1243 Friday high back in play
  • Failure to hold the 1.1202 prior close and then the 1.1184 weekly open exposes the higher-lows line and the 1.1164 prior-week low
  • Only a recovery through the 1.1276 prior-week high would negate the lower-highs sequence
  • ECB's Vujčić (10:00 UTC today) and Tuesday's HICP (06:00 UTC, f/c 3.3% y/y) could materially shift this read; US CPI follows Wed 12:30 UTC

Range after midweek drop, recovering · RSI 57 · price 1.1213

1.1165–1.1243 range with higher lows since Wednesday's low.

Wednesday's London-open drop from Tuesday's 1.1276 week high to the 1.1165 week low set the dominant move. Since then H1 has rotated inside a 1.1165–1.1243 range, with higher lows printed Wednesday through Friday and along the higher-lows trendline. Monday's gap down to the 1.1184 weekly open was filled during the Asia session as USD softened on Friday's weak Michigan sentiment print, putting price back above EMA(20) near 1.1206 and just under the 50% fib of Wednesday's drop at 1.1221, with RSI(14) near 57.

Support: 1.1206, 1.1184, 1.1165

Resistance: 1.1221, 1.1243, 1.1276

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above the 1.1243 Friday high breaks the range top and the lower-high sequence from the 1.1276 week high
  • Rejection at the 1.1221 fib 50% keeps price rotating inside the range
  • Loss of the 1.1184 weekly open and the higher-lows trendline puts the 1.1165 week low back in play
  • EUR HICP Tue 06:00 UTC and US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read; Vujčić 10:00 UTC and Hammack 16:50 UTC speak today

Range after Wednesday's drop, lows stepping higher · RSI 55 · price 1.12155

Higher lows off 1.1165 week low inside a 1.1165–1.1276 range.

Tuesday's London-led push to the 1.1276 week high reversed into Wednesday's 112-pip slide to the 1.1165 week low as French fiscal stress and a firm USD dominated. Lows have since stepped higher at 1.1172 and 1.1187, while Friday's rally to 1.1243 on lower French yields stalled beyond the 61.8% fib and faded through NY. Monday's Asia session has filled the gap from the 1.1184 weekly open and lifted price back above ema20 near 1.1205, testing the fib 50% at 1.1220 just under the 1.1226 Thu high, with RSI(14) neutral near 55.

Support: 1.1205, 1.1184, 1.1165

Resistance: 1.1226, 1.1243, 1.1276

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above the 1.1226 Thu high and 1.1243 Friday high would put the 1.1276 week high back in view
  • Loss of ema20 and the 1.1200 round number back toward the 1.1184 weekly open would break the higher-lows sequence
  • A close below the 1.1165 week low resumes the decline from Tuesday's high
  • Euro-area HICP (Tue 06:00 UTC) and US CPI (Wed 12:30 UTC) could materially shift this read
