The EUR/USD currency pair
Technical indicators of the currency pair:
Prev Open: 1.2125
Prev Close: 1.1995
% chg. over the last day: -1.08%
The EUR/USD currency pair, which has an inverse correlation to the US dollar index, fell by 1.08% on the day. The buyers’ reaction is very weak, so the price is likely to fall further. The priority change level has been corrected.
Trading recommendations
Support levels: 1.1962, 1.1835
Resistance levels: 1.2002, 1.2050, 1.2109, 1.2144, 1.2174, 1.2212, 1.2243
The sellers’ pressure remains high, while the buyers are very weak. The MACD indicator went into the oversold zone without any signs of divergence. The best strategy for traders is to look for sell trades from resistance levels. But considering the strong deviation from the middle line, it is also possible to look for buy trades from the support levels. Though, it is better to buy at the intraday timeframes from the 1.1962 level.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.2144 resistance level and fixes above, the general uptrend is likely to resume.

Resistance levels: 110.73 110.94, 111.48
The trend is bullish as the price is above the priority change level of 109.83. Now the price has reached the resistance level, and the MACD indicator is in the overbought zone. Considering the strong deviation from the moving average, there is a high probability of a small downward correction. Traders are better to look for buy trades from support levels after the correction. Sell positions can only take place on intraday timeframes and only with short targets. Trading against the trend is not recommended.
