The EUR/USD currency pair continues to struggle, remaining in negative territory for a fourth consecutive session. During the Asian trading hours on Friday, the pair is hovering around the 1.1870 mark. Despite this downturn, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 56, indicating that the momentum is holding steady and remains above the midline, suggesting that bullish sentiment is still prevalent among traders. Although the RSI has eased slightly, it stays above the 50 threshold, a positive sign for those in favor of the Euro.
Technical analysis of the daily chart reveals that the EUR/USD pair is maintaining its position above both the nine-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA, which supports a generally bullish outlook. The nine-EMA’s position above the 50-day EMA indicates a strong short-term trend, with both averages trending upward. The nine-EMA serves as crucial support for any potential upward movement.
Looking ahead, if the pair can maintain its position above the nine-day EMA at 1.1860, it could pave the way for further resistance toward 1.2082, a level not seen since June 2021. Conversely, should the pair slip below the short-term average, it may trigger a retreat toward the 50-day EMA at 1.1766, suggesting a shift in focus to deeper support levels, including the notable 11-week low at 1.1578 set back on January 19.
