The EUR/USD has declined below the support of the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.0920. Next target for the decline appeared to be the 1.0900 mark. In the meantime, the rate appeared to be confirming the 1.0935/1.0945 range as resistance.

Economic Calendar Analysis

EUR/USD hourly chart

A decline below 1.0900 mark could eventually reach the support of the July low levels at 1.0835/1.0840, the weekly S2 simple pivot point at 1.0829 and afterwards the 1.0800 mark. In addition, note the trend line which connects the lower low levels of the broader decline.

On the other hand, a recovery of the Euro against the US Dollar would have to break the 1.0935/1.0945 range, before a surge starts. A move above 1.0945 could be slowed down by the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages and the descending resistance line. Higher above, note the 1.1000 mark.

EUR/USD daily chart's review

On the daily candle chart, the pair has been declining since the attempt to pass above 1.1250. Last week, the currency pair reached the combined support of the 1.0950 level, the 50 and 100-day simple moving averages and the lower trend line of a channel up pattern.

On Tuesday, it appeared that the support had partially failed, as the trend line was pierced. However, the moving averages were still acting as support. On Thursday, the moving averages also failed. It appears that the combination of the 1.0850 level and the 200-day SMA might stop the decline.
