The Euro has come under pressure, with EUR/USD plunging from the yearly highs to trade just above key support for a third consecutive week. The focus is now on a possible inflection off this zone, where a weekly close below would suggest the next leg of the decline is underway.

Euro Price Chart – EUR/USD Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; EUR/USD on TradingView
Technical Outlook: In last month’s Euro Technical Forecast we noted that EUR/USD was breaking below, “channel support this week and while the broader outlook remains constructive, the advance may be vulnerable heading into the close of the month. From a trading standpoint, rallies would need to be limited to 1.1775 IF price is heading for a deeper correction here..” Euro plummeted more than 3.1% from the yearly highs with price exhausting into technical support for the past two-weeks and the focus is on possible inflection into this zone with the medium-term risk still weighted t0 the downside while below the monthly open (1.1734).
Initial weekly support rests with the July low-week close (LWC) / 61.8% retracement of the July advance at 1.1586/93 and is backed by 1.1497-1.1505- a region defined by the March 2020 high, the 2022 high, and the 100% extension of the September decline. Look for a larger reaction there IF reached with a break / weekly close below needed to suggest a more significant high is in place / a larger correction is underway within the broader uptrend. Subsequent support objectives eyed at the Aril high close at 1.1394 with the next major technical consideration eyed at the 2024 high-week close (HWC) / 38.2% retracement of the yearly range at 1.1228/54.
Weekly resistance is eyed at the 1.1747/75- a region defined by the 2025 HWC, the June high-close, and the 61.8% retracement of the September decline. A breach / weekly close above this pivot zone is needed to mark resumption of the broader uptrend with key resistance steady at the 100% extension of the 2022 advance / 38.2% retracement of the broader 2008 decline at 1.1917-1.2020 (area of interest for possible exhaustion / price inflection IF reached. Subsequent resistance eyed at the 2021 HWC at 1.2218 in the event of a breakout.
Bottom line: Euro is trading just above support, and the focus is on inflection off this zone in the days ahead with a weekly close below needed to fuel the next leg of this pullback. From a trading standpoint, rallies should be limited to 1.1734 IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below 1.1497 needed to fuel the next leg of the decline.
Keep in mind we get the release of U.S. inflation data on Friday with the FOMC & ECB interest rate decisions on tap next week. Stay nimble into the releases and watch the weekly closes for guidance.
