Daily Euro Currency Technical Analysis (EUR/USD)
Looking at the above daily EUR/USD MT 4 price chart, the 14 day relative strength index (RSI) is normal around the midline. Now that there had been a break of the monthly support line at the upward sloping trend line, the next downside barrier comes into play at the 21 day simple moving average (SMA).
This layer of technical support lines up at 1.1788. However, before that happens there is a downside layer of technical support at 1.18 that needs to break.
The next layer of technical support line up at the mid-October low price point at 1.1690 and the monthly low price point at 1.16.
On the upside a daily close above the former support turned technical resistance layer at 1.1883 will open the door to challenge the key upside barrier at 1.19. There is an upside congestion zone in play at 1.1920 to 1.1925 that would then come into focus.
