EUR/USD is trading at 1.1639 (+0.26%), testing the upper bounds of its recent range as European session liquidity provides a modest bid. The pair remains trapped below both its 20-day (1.1657) and 50-day (1.1671) SMAs, confirming the broader downtrend from April’s 1.2018 peak. Today’s rally from the 1.1613 low suggests short-term bullish momentum, but the RSI at 55.5 shows no extreme positioning — this isn’t a breakout yet, just mean reversion within a 0.0049 daily volatility band (ATR-14).

The technical floor at S1 (1.1590) held firm overnight, while R1 resistance (1.1638) is being tested — a close above this level would target the cluster of moving averages overhead. The pivot at 1.1618 now acts as intraday support, aligning with the European session’s higher low. Traders should watch whether this push above R1 attracts follow-through buying or fails like the June 1st attempt at 1.1652.

With ECB rhetoric turning slightly more hawkish and US jobless claims data due tomorrow, the pair may attempt to challenge the SMA-20 if US labor signals soften. However, the 52-week range (1.1424–1.2018) reminds us that structural euro weakness persists — rallies above 1.1671 are needed to invalidate the bearish structure.
