The EUR/USD has continued its decline, as by the middle of Tuesday's GMT trading hours, the currency exchange rate had declined below two SMAs and two pivot points.

In regards to the near term future, the rate had no technical support as low as the 1.0877 level.

Economic Calendar Analysis



This week, data can be ignored, as the fundamental background created by the coronavirus has made the historical data useless in regards to future move forecasting.

However, take a look at the list of previously notable events, as the markets will be looking at them to understand the impact of the virus.

EUR/USD hourly chart's review

The EUR/USD has passed the support of the 55 and 100-hour simple moving averages. In addition, the weekly and monthly simple pivot points near 1.0970 were passed. The rate has no technical support as low as the 200-hour SMA near 1.0880.

In theory, the currency pair should decline to the simple moving average. However, the round price levels like the 1.0950 and 1.0900 are expected to provide psychological support. Namely, the pair pauses and sometimes even changes direction at round exchange rate levels.

Hourly Chart



On the daily candle chart, EUR/USD has reached the daily simple moving averages. It has removed its oversold pressure. Due to that reason it can now once again decline.
