Technical Analysis of EUR/USD for August 18, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The EUR/USD pair has developed a potential Head & Shoulders pattern as it is clearly seen at the H4 time frame chart. The recent breakout below the neck line around the level of 1.0962 confirms the pattern, so the outlook remains bearish. The next target for bears, measured from the swing high located at 1.1276 is located at 1.0500, but first bears need to break out below the key short-term technical support located at 1.0834. The weak and negative momentum on the H4 time frame chart supports the short-term bearish outlook for EUR.
