EUR/USD fades below 1.1550 as downtrend holds firm
EUR/USD is grinding lower within a well-defined downtrend, and each attempted recovery is meeting fresh supply before it gains traction.
The pair is up fractionally on the session — a negligible 0.07% — but context matters. The daily range runs from 1.152565 to 1.15437, a compression that keeps price pinned just below EMA20. No macro catalyst has emerged to challenge the directional bias. The weekly picture is in the red, and the prior week saw levels at 1.15776 and 1.16596 break cleanly to the downside, reinforcing the dominant trend.
The setup is clear for a momentum desk. Trend is aligned down across the 1H, 4H and 1D timeframes without exception. Price trades below EMA20 at 1.15501, below EMA50 at 1.15765 and well below EMA200 at 1.16573 — the full EMA stack is bearish and in order. RSI sits in neutral territory with room to extend lower before oversold conditions become a concern. Volatility remains calm, which historically favours trend continuation over mean reversion, keeping the bar for a reversal high. The analytics signal reads bearish at elevated confidence for the 48-hour horizon.
We sell rallies into the 1.15437–1.15501 zone where EMA20 caps. First target is support at 1.15272, with 1.14993 as the extended objective. A daily close above 1.15541 invalidates the short bias and forces a reassessment.
