EUR/USD Price Forecast – Daily Technical Analysis: Major Support $1.1845
EUR/USD price forecast remains bullish over the $1.1844 support level. On Monday, the EUR/USD’s bullish bias continues to dominate the market.
The major currency pair gains immediate support above 50 days EMA (exponential moving average – red line). In comparison, this EMA is holding at 1.1860 level. Bearish crossover below this EMA can drive further selling until the 1.1844 level. However, it’s not worth selling below 1.1860 until the 1.1840 level is violated.
The bearish breakout of the 1.1840 support level can drive sharp selling until the 1.1760 support level. Alternatively, the resistance stays at the 1.1906 level. While a bullish breakout of the 1.1906 level can extend buying trend until the 1.1960 level.
The Forex trading market participants will likely take a buy position above the $1.1845 level to target the $1.1906 and $1.1940 levels. Conversely, selling can be seen upon breakout of $1.1840 level today. All the best!
