FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of EUR/USD for May 18, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The EUR/USD keeps moving lower after the price had broke out from the Falling Wedge pattern on the H4 time frame chart and hit the lows at the level of 1.0811. Another local bounce from the lows was shallow and bulls were rejected from the intraday technical resistance located at 1.0853, which is the key short-term technical resistance as well. The momentum is weak and negative again on the H4 time frame chart, so the bears have the control of the market. The next target for bears is seen at the level of 1.0789 and 1.0716 and the down move should resume as soon as the bounce is done.

Trading Outlook:

Since the beginning of October 2022 the EUR/USD is in the corrective cycle to the upside, but the main, long-term trend remains bearish. This corrective cycle might had been terminated at the level of 1.2080 which is 61% Fibonacci retracement level. The EUR had made a new multi-decade low at the level of 0.9538, so as long as the USD is being bought all across the board, the down trend will continue towards the new lows.
