In doing so, the Euro pair drops for the third consecutive day as it breaks the 200-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and an ascending trend line from April 10.
Given the Euro pair’s failure to defend the previous week’s bounce off short-term horizontal support, coupled with the recently impending bearish signals from the MACD indicator, the EUR/USD sellers are likely to keep the reins.
That said, the major currency pair presently drops towards a horizontal support zone comprising multiple levels marked since April 25, near 1.0960.
However, a two-week-long ascending trend line near 1.0945 could challenge the EUR/USD bears afterward.
On the contrary, EUR/USD recovery may aim for the 1.1050 round figures before directing the pair buyers towards a 12-day-long horizontal resistance area surrounding 1.1065-70.
Following that, the recently marked multi-month high of 1.1095 can prod the Euro pair buyers before directing them to the March 2022 peak close to 1.1185.
