Technical analysis of the EUR/USD pair
The Euro rallied significantly against the US Dollar between March and early May, but the bullish momentum faded and the tables turned in the blink of an eye after prices failed to breach the psychological $1.1100 level, a major technical ceiling worth paying close attention to.
In recent weeks, EUR/USD has probed the $1.1075/$1.1100 range several times, but has been pushed lower on every occasion, with the pair retreating and trading at $1.0825 on Wednesday afternoon after its latest failed attempt to remove overhead resistance.
Although the outlook remains positive, the EUR bulls have good reasons for concern as the exchange rate appears to be heading towards the 1.0820/1.0785 confluence support at the time of writing. To resume the upward trend, this floor must hold; Otherwise, a pullback towards 1.0705 could be restricted.
On the other hand, if EUR/USD establishes a base around the 1.0800 handle and bounces off those levels, the initial resistance is at 1.0910. A sustained move above this barrier could attract new buyers into the market, encouraging them to take another step at the highs in 2023.
