Daily Euro Currency Technical Analysis (EUR/USD)
Looking at the above daily MT 4 price action chart, the euro currency saw its biggest daily loss, on Thursday, since 17 August. The safe haven dollar saw broad support throughout the Forex markets.
The benchmark EUR/USD Forex market is also trading below the 50 day simple moving average. With that said, further downside with the EUR/USD currency exchange rate has immediate technical support lining up at 1.1750.
Given the negative looking technical indicators, a daily close below 1.1750 opens the door for the year low price point lining up at 1.1665. There is another level of technical support before 1.1665 in play at 1.1770.
On the upside, the single currency has immediate technical resistance at a former key technical support level. This downside barrier comes into play at the 50 day simple moving average around 1.1798.
A daily close above the 50 day simple moving average should open the door for a key horizontal technical support level in play at 1.1910.
