The daily chart shows the pair moving lower within a descending channel.\n\nThe pair remains below the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages, with resistance in the mid-1.15s and high-1.16s. The 14-day Relative Strength Index is 37, staying under 50 and pointing to bearish momentum.\n\n

Technical Levels And Channel Direction<\/h3>\nSupport is at the seven-month low of 1.1411, recorded on March 13. Another support level sits near the lower channel boundary around 1.1310.\n\nResistance is first seen at the nine-day EMA around 1.1526, then near the upper channel boundary around 1.1600. If price breaks above the channel, it may test the 50-day EMA at 1.681.\n\nThe technical analysis was produced with the help of an AI tool.\n\nWith the EUR\/USD hovering around 1.1490, the technical picture remains bearish as the pair continues its trend within a descending channel. We are seeing persistent pressure keeping the price below key moving averages, reinforcing the potential for a downward move. The immediate focus should be on the pair testing the seven-month low of 1.1411.\n\nThis technical weakness is supported by a growing economic divergence between the Eurozone and the United States. Recent data showed Eurozone inflation cooled to 1.9% in February 2026, increasing bets that the European Central Bank may consider rate cuts sooner than anticipated. In contrast, the latest U.S. jobs report from February revealed a robust gain of over 250,000 jobs, signaling the Federal Reserve has little reason to ease its tighter monetary policy.\n\n

Macro Divergence And Trading Implications<\/h3>\nWe saw a very similar setup back in March of 2025 when the 14-day Relative Strength Index was also near 37. This level shows strong selling momentum but importantly suggests the pair is not yet in deeply oversold territory, leaving more room to the downside. The historical parallel provides a blueprint for how this current move might unfold in the coming weeks.\n\nFor derivative traders, this suggests buying put options with strike prices at or below 1.1400 could be a viable strategy to capitalize on the expected decline. Watching the nine-day EMA around 1.1526 is crucial; a failure to break above this level would present a strong signal to initiate or add to short positions. This EMA has been acting as a consistent ceiling on any recovery attempts.\n\nShould the bearish momentum continue and break the 1.1411 support, the next logical target would be the lower boundary of the descending channel, located near 1.1310. Conversely, a sustained move above the channel’s upper boundary around 1.1600 would be required to invalidate this bearish outlook. Traders should use that 1.1600 level as a point to reconsider short exposures.\n\nCreate your live VT Markets account<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0start trading<\/a>\u00a0now. <\/b>\n
