Range after a sell-off, mid-range drift · RSI 49 · price 1.12101
1.1113-1.1285 range, higher low after false break.
The early-window slide from 1.1470 has settled into a 1.1113-1.1285 range. Last week's false break below the range low reversed into a rally to the 1.1269 week high on Fed Chair Warsh's dovish-leaning remarks, before supply capped it under the range top. Price now sits mid-range, just under EMA20 and above EMA50, with a higher low at the 1.1180 swing low, near the 61.8% fib of that rally. ATR(14) near 29 pips is well below sell-off readings, and French spread stress is weighing on EUR without yet breaking that swing low.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1113
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1269 week high and the 1.1285 range top would break the range to the upside
Failure to hold the 1.1180 swing low breaks the higher-low line and reopens the 1.1113 range low
Tue ZEW sentiment and OAT-Bund spread moves vs 150bp could materially shift this read
Fri US S&P Global PMIs are the week's main USD catalyst for a range break

Range after September downtrend, rebound stalling · RSI 49 · price 1.12061
1.1113–1.1285 range; lower highs above, higher low off 1.1113.
After the September slide from 1.1470, EURUSD has held a three-week range between the 1.1113 swing low and the 1.1285 prior high. Highs are trending lower, with last week's high at 1.1269 below the 1.1285 prior high. Last week's rebound off 1.1113 followed dovish-leaning Fed commentary, then faded into Monday on French fiscal stress. Price gapped lower at the open, filled the gap and now sits near the 38.2% retracement around 1.1209, just under EMA20 and pinned to EMA50. ATR near 31 pips is below early-October readings and points to compression inside the range, with the Monday low at 1.1180 forming a higher low.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1113
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 1.1180 Monday low breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 1.1113 swing low
Sustained trade above the 1.1269 week high and the lower-highs line near 1.1285 would mark a range break higher
ZEW sentiment Tue 09:00 UTC and German PPI 06:00 UTC could materially shift this read
OAT/Bund spread pushing beyond 150bp or French government-stability headlines are the main unscheduled risk to the 1.1180 support
Lower-high sequence broken; range 1.1180–1.1270 with a higher low.
Lower highs from 1.1486 in late September carried the pair to a 16m low at 1.1113 on Wednesday. That dip below the 1.1151 swing low reversed quickly, and the rebound to the 1.1269 swing high broke the lower-high sequence as AI-equity selling weighed on USD. Price now holds a higher low near 1.1180, close to the 50% retracement of the bounce, beneath a descending range cap from the 1.1285 prior high. EMA20 and EMA50 have converged flat around 1.1215, and ATR(14) near 32 pips sits well below the early-October expansion, consistent with consolidation inside the range.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1151, 1.1113
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1269 swing high and 1.1285 prior high clears the range cap and confirms a range break higher
Failure to hold the 1.1180 higher low reopens the 1.1151 swing low and the 1.1113 16m low
French OAT/Bund spread headlines plus Tue German PPI and ZEW could materially shift this read
Fri US S&P Global PMIs ahead of next week's FOMC are the main USD-side risk to the range

Downtrend stalling, rotating in a range · RSI 45 · price 1.11931
Lower highs into early Oct, then range 1.1150-1.1285 with false break to 1.1113.
The late-September selloff from 1.1495 flattened into a 1.1150-1.1285 range in October. Last week's dip to the 16m low at 1.1113 reversed into a false break, with a higher-lows line from there carrying price to the 1.1269 rebound high as the soft USD and Warsh's dovish lean weighed on the dollar. Monday's gap down from Friday's 1.1238 close, tied to French fiscal stress, has price back at the 50% retracement near 1.1191 and just below a flat EMA20/EMA50 pair. ATR(14) has compressed to roughly 33 pips from the 50-80 pip bars of late September.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1151, 1.1113
Resistance: 1.1238, 1.1269, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 1.1180 monday low breaks the higher-lows line and exposes the 1.1151 swing low, then the 1.1113 16m low
Close above 1.1238 fills Monday's gap; acceptance above the 1.1269 rebound high reopens the 1.1285 oct high and the range top
Tue ZEW sentiment and French OAT/Bund spread headlines (vs 150bp) could materially shift this read
Fri US S&P Global PMIs ahead of next week's Fed meeting could break the range compression
Lower highs/lows from 1.1495 to 1.1113; lower-highs trendline broken, higher low at 1.1180.
Three weeks of lower highs and lower lows from 1.1495 ended at Wednesday's 16-month low of 1.1113. The rebound to the 1.1269 Friday high then broke the descending lower-highs trendline as AI-led USD weakness outweighed hot US data. Monday's gap down to 1.1180 printed a higher low just above the 61.8% retracement of the rebound fib, and price has recovered to 1.1230, above both EMAs and resting on the 23.6% level. ATR(14) near 33 pips sits mid-range for the window, neither compressed nor expanding.
Support: 1.1200, 1.1180, 1.1113
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.1269 friday high and the 1.1285 swing high would confirm a higher high and break the downtrend sequence
Loss of the 1.1200 round number, near the 38.2% rebound fib, exposes the monday low at 1.1180 and the higher-lows line
A break below 1.1180 reopens the 1.1113 16-month low and resumes the lower-low structure
French OAT/Bund spread beyond 150bp and Tue ZEW at 09:00 UTC could materially shift this read
Fri US S&P PMIs and UoM inflation expectations are the main USD-side risk to the rebound

Downtrend stalled, basing in a range · RSI 56 · price 1.1230
1.1151–1.1285 range with lower highs; false break to 1.1113 reclaimed.
The late-September slide from 1.1480 has stalled into a 1.1151–1.1285 range since early October. Wednesday's false break to the 1.1113 16m low was reclaimed fast, and the rebound ran to the 1.1269 swing high as an AI-linked USD sell-off lifted EUR. The week opened with a weekend gap lower on Hormuz haven demand that has since filled back to 1.1230, leaving price above both EMAs with the 1.1200 round number as the pivot. ATR(14) near 35 pips is moderate, and French OAT/Bund spread headlines remain the dominant driver.
Support: 1.1200, 1.1151, 1.1113
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.1285
What it said to watch
H4 close back below the 1.1200 round number would undo the gap fill and expose the 1.1151 swing low
Close above the 1.1285 range top would break the lower-high sequence (1.1285, 1.1276, 1.1269) that has capped the range
Failure at the 1.1113 16m low would resume the broader downtrend
Hold of the 50% rebound fib near 1.1191 keeps the recovery from the false break intact
French OAT/Bund spread vs 150bps and ECB Lane/Elderson remarks today could materially shift this read; US PMIs Fri are the main USD risk
