EURUSD Support and Resistance Levels for Price Action Traders
The EUR/USD, often referred to as the “Fiber,” is the most traded currency pair in the forex market, representing the economies of the Eurozone and the United States. As the world’s most liquid currency pair, it is highly sensitive to macroeconomic indicators and central bank policies. Today’s fundamental outlook for EUR-USD is influenced by key U.S. data releases, including the Core PCE Price Index, which is the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation. If inflation comes in higher than forecast, it could strengthen the USD as it would increase the likelihood of further Fed tightening. Additionally, the U.S. Employment Cost Index will provide insight into labor costs, another key factor for inflation. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman’s speech could also bring volatility if any hawkish remarks suggest further rate hikes. Personal income and spending data will be crucial in assessing consumer strength, with higher spending potentially reinforcing a stronger dollar. Meanwhile, the Chicago PMI will shed light on business activity. If today’s U.S. economic indicators come in stronger than expected, the USD could gain momentum, pressuring EUR USD lower.

From a technical analysis perspective, the H4 EUR/USD chart shows a clear shift in trend dynamics. The Fiber pair had been in a strong uptrend (green trendline) but encountered resistance near the 1.0545 Fibonacci retracement level (23.6%), leading to a pullback. Currently, the price has broken below the Ichimoku cloud, which is still green but narrowing; indicating a weakening bullish momentum. The EUR USD price is hovering inside the cloud, testing the critical 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level (1.0398), which is acting as an important support level. This area aligns with previous price reactions and the lower boundary of the Ichimoku cloud, making it a potential turning point. If this support level holds, EURUSD might consolidate before a potential bullish attempt. However, a clear breakdown below the cloud would confirm a bearish shift. The RSI is currently around 43.46, reflecting weak momentum, and the downward slope suggests further bearish potential unless it finds support. The short-term outlook remains cautious, with 1.0398 as a key level to watch; a decisive break below could accelerate selling pressure towards 1.0311 (Fib 0.786), while a rebound could bring another test of 1.0457 resistance.
