The 55-day SMA remains bearish … for now

  • EUR / USD is in daily containment at the 1.1800 zone so far.
  • Additional losses appear contained near 1.1790 for now.

The upward momentum of EUR/USD seems to have found a decent barrier at monthly highs in the region of 1.1880 (Oct 21).

The continuation of the sideways mood seems supported by the 55-day SMA and last week’s lows at the 1.1790 zone. A break out of this consolidation range in either direction is expected to risk a deeper pullback towards the 1.1700 area, while the resumption of the uptrend faces a key hurdle at 1.1880 initially.

Looking at the broader scenario, the EUR / USD bullish view is expected to remain unchanged as long as the pair trades above the critical 200-day SMA, today at 1.1300.
