EUR/USD has faced renewed bearish pressure in the American session and declined below 1.1000. With the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield pushing higher, the dollar continues to gather strength against its major rivals and the US Dollar Index advances toward 99.00.
The daily chart for the EUR/USD pair shows that the pair kept retreating from its Thursday peak at 1.1184. It is currently trading below the 38.2% retracement of this year's decline at 1.1070 and above the 23.6% retracement of the same slide at 1.0965. The pair is currently piercing a mildly bullish 20 SMA, while the longer moving averages maintain their bearish slopes. Also, technical indicators turned lower, with the RSI already within negative levels and favoring additional declines.
The pair is bearish in the near term, and according to the 4-hour chart, as it is currently developing below all of its moving averages, as technical indicators head lower within negative levels. A break through the 1.0960 price zone should favor another leg south and send the pair below the 1.0900 threshold.
Support levels: 1.0960 1.0920 1.0870
