"EUR/USD Approaches Sub-1.0900 Levels, Facing Downside Pressure"

The EUR/USD pair has experienced a deeper decline, touching its lowest point in 2024 at 1.0861 (as of January 16). It is now approaching a critical level, the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.0847. If this support is breached, the December 2023 low of 1.0723 (on December 8) may reappear, preceding the weekly low of 1.0495 (on October 13, 2023), followed by the October 2023 low of 1.0448 (on October 3) and the psychological level of 1.0400. Positive prospects for this currency pair are likely to face challenges below the 200-day SMA.

The 4-hour chart currently indicates a further downside trend in the very near term. Breaking below 1.0861 would eliminate significant support until the 1.0723 level. The MACD indicator is also trading in negative territory, and this bearish scenario is reinforced by the RSI index hovering around the 28 level, signaling oversold conditions. In the event of occasional upward attempts, immediate resistance is anticipated at the 200-SMA at 1,0925, followed by 1,0998, seemingly strengthened by the proximity of the 100-SMA around 1.0980. Investors and traders will closely monitor these levels for potential shifts in the EUR/USD pair's short-term trajectory.
