The EUR/USD currency pair has managed to hold its ground after a challenging five-day decline, trading around 1.1650 during the Asian trading hours on Friday. The current momentum, as reflected by the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 39, remains in bearish territory. This downward trend signals that the momentum is fading rather than indicating overbought conditions.
A closer examination of the daily chart indicates that the pair is positioned below both the nine- and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The short-term EMA is currently rolling over at 1.1696, while the 50-day EMA is flattening out near 1.1680. Despite a generally positive crossover structure, the failure to hold above these moving averages has left the near-term market sentiment vulnerable.
As the EUR/USD approach a six-week low of 1.1589—logged on December 1—traders are eyeing significant support levels. Should a daily close occur below this pivotal support, the pair could potentially target a lower base around 1.1468, marking its lowest point since August 2025.
On the upside, the initial resistance is identified around the crossover of the medium- and short-term averages at approximately 1.1680 and 1.1696, respectively. A daily close above these averages could rekindle bullish momentum, offering a pathway to test the three-month high of 1.1808, which was recorded on December 24. Further up, the next significant target would be 1.1918, the highest level seen since June 2021.
