EUR/USD Technical Analysis

The Euro started a significant downside move from well above the 1.1350 level against the US Dollar. The EUR/USD pair broke the 1.1320 and 1.1240 support levels to enter a major downtrend.

The decline was such that the pair even broke the 1.1220 support area and settled below the 50 hourly simple moving average. The pair traded as low as 1.1183 on FXOpen and it is currently correcting higher.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis Euro Dollar Chart

Buyers managed to push the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1249 high to 1.1183 low. Moreover, there was a break above the 1.1210 resistance level and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

It is currently trading near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1249 high to 1.1183 low. There is also a major declining channel in place with resistance near 1.1230 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD.

A break above the channel resistance near the 1.1225 and 1.1230 resistance levels may call for more upsides in the near term. On the upside, the next major resistance is near the 1.1250 level.

On the downside, there is a decent support formed near the 1.1200-1.1210 zone. If there is a close below 1.1200, the pair might move back towards the 1.1180 and 1.1160 levels.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis

The US Dollar started a solid upward move from the 0.9900-0.9910 support area against the Swiss franc. The USD/CHF pair traded above the 0.9940 and 0.9950 resistance levels to move into a positive zone.

Buyers gained control and pushed the pair above the 0.9980 resistance and the 50 hourly simple moving average. The pair traded close the 1.0000 resistance and formed a high at 0.9999. Later, there was a downside correction below the 0.9985 support.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis US Dollar Swiss Franc Chart

The pair broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.9934 low to 0.9999 high. However, the 0.9875 support and the 50 hourly simple moving average is currently acting as a support.

The next key support is near the 0.9965 level. It coincides with the previous resistance zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.9934 low to 0.9999 high.

Therefore, if the pair corrects further, it is likely to find a strong buying interest near the 0.9965 support area in the coming sessions. Below 0.9965, the next key support is near the 0.9940 level.

On the upside, the main resistance is near the 1.0000 area, where sellers are likely to take a stand. An upside break above 1.0000 might call for more gains towards the 1.0025 and 1.0050 levels.
