What can we expect from EURUSD today?

EURUSD on Thursday dropped -0.4% to 1.09732. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling.

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 S1 1.09429 with break below could see further selling pressure towards S2 at 1.09127. To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 1.10156 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 1.09490 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that EURUSD is bullish as the pair continued to trade higher and is up by 0.54% over the past few days.
