What can we expect from EURUSD today?

EURUSD on Thursday dropped -0.6% to 1.07970. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in oversold zone.

Updated daily direction for EURUSD looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Thursday trading session.

Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at 1.07664 (S1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 1.07359 (S2). To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 1.08767 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 1.07910 would indicate selling pressure.
