Downtrend, momentum stalling in a base · RSI 45 · price 1.12259
Lower highs and lower lows since the Aug 21 top; two-week consolidation 1.1113–1.1285.
EURUSD has carried a lower-high, lower-low chain since the Aug 21 top at 1.1711. The Sep 9 lower high at 1.1654 started a descending trendline, and the Oct 1 slide took price below 1.1300. Since then the pair has spent three weeks in a 1.1113–1.1285 consolidation under a falling EMA(20) and EMA(50). The 1.1260–1.1285 range cap has rejected six daily highs, and price is still below the 23.6% retracement of the Aug–Oct fib. French spread stress is capping the euro, while a soft USD has kept the Oct 14 swing low from giving way. The 1.1200 round number sits just under spot.
Support: 1.1200, 1.11128
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.13414
What it said to watch
- Daily close above the 1.1285 range cap and the descending trendline breaks the consolidation read and exposes the 38.2% fib at 1.1341
- Daily close below the 1.1113 swing low resumes the lower-low chain
- Fri flash PMIs: French and German PMIs at 07:15–07:30 UTC, US PMIs at 13:45 UTC; misses or beats either side could decide which edge of the range gives way
- OAT-Bund spread above 160bp, or a weekend Moody's action on France, could knock price through the 1.1200 round number
- ECB (Oct 29) and Fed meetings next week could materially shift this read

Downtrend, basing near lows · RSI 45 · price 1.12259
LH/LL chain from Aug 21 peak; three-week consolidation 1.1113-1.1269.
The downtrend began at the 1.1711 late-August peak. A lower high at 1.1654 on Sep 9 and the mid-September break of 1.1566 extended the lower-low chain to the 1.1113 Oct low, with price still below a falling EMA(50) near 1.14. Since early October the pair has compressed into a three-week consolidation between 1.1113 and the 1.1269 range top. That cap coincides with the 23.6% fib and EMA(20), and it has rejected five times this month as French spread stress offsets a softer USD. The Oct 19 dip held at 1.1180, the first higher low inside the base.
Support: 1.1180, 1.1113, 1.1000
Resistance: 1.1269, 1.1341, 1.1410
What it said to watch
- Daily close above the 1.1269 range top and 23.6% fib would break the lower-high sequence and open the 38.2% fib at 1.1341
- The 50% fib at 1.1410 overlaps the late-September pivot and EMA(50), the next structural ceiling above
- Failure to hold the 1.1180 higher low returns focus to the 1.1113 Oct low; a close below it resumes the downtrend toward 1.1000 psych
- Fri flash PMIs (France, Germany, EZ, US) and next week's ECB and Fed decisions could materially shift this read
- A fresh French spread or ratings shock (Moody's, weekend protests) could push the pair out of the base
