EURUSD Bears Regain Control as Dollar Strength Holds Firm

446
EURUSD is showing fresh signs of exhaustion after its recent bounce, struggling to hold momentum against a resilient U.S. dollar. Price action has rejected trendline resistance and is now threatening to extend lower toward key demand zones. With the ECB battling slowing growth while the Fed remains cautious but firm, EURUSD faces mounting pressure to the downside.

Current Bias

Bearish – rejection at resistance keeps the pair vulnerable to further downside toward 1.1600 and potentially 1.1410.

Key Fundamental Drivers

U.S. dollar demand supported by safe-haven flows and relatively strong U.S. economic data.

ECB’s dovish tilt as growth falters in the Eurozone, limiting scope for additional rate hikes.

Differentials in monetary policy continue to favor the USD over the EUR in the medium term.

Macro Context

Interest rate expectations: The Fed is expected to keep rates higher for longer, maintaining a hawkish edge, while the ECB faces pressure to slow policy tightening given weak Eurozone growth.

Economic growth: U.S. growth remains more resilient than Europe’s, with Eurozone industrial and consumer sectors showing signs of fatigue.

Commodity flows: Lower European energy demand and potential disruptions in global gas/oil trade leave the euro vulnerable.

Geopolitical themes: Trade tariffs, global slowdown risks, and U.S.–EU policy divergence all weigh on the single currency.

Primary Risk to the Trend

A surprise hawkish shift from the ECB or softer-than-expected U.S. data could reignite EUR upside momentum and squeeze shorts.

Most Critical Upcoming News/Event

ECB policy meeting minutes (guidance on growth vs. inflation trade-off)

U.S. PMI & jobless claims (gauging the Fed’s stance on growth resilience)

Key Levels

Support Levels: 1.1606, 1.1410

Resistance Levels: 1.1710, 1.1797

Stop Loss (SL): 1.1800

Take Profit (TP): 1.1606 (first target), 1.1410 (extended target)

Summary: Bias and Watchpoints

EURUSD continues to lean bearish, with rejection from resistance and a weakening Eurozone macro backdrop providing downside pressure. The bias favors further losses toward 1.1606, with extended downside into the 1.1410 region if bearish momentum accelerates. A stop loss above 1.1800 provides protection against a breakout reversal. Traders should closely monitor ECB commentary and U.S. data releases, as any divergence from expectations could quickly shift momentum. Until then, the path of least resistance remains to the downside.
