Also of note, there is strong upside resistance at the 61.8 percent Fibonacci level near 1.1288. The euro has struggled there quite a bit. This could bring this Forex market lower to channel the bottom of the above mentioned range

Daily Euro Currency Technical Analysis (EUR/USD)

Looking at the above monthly MT 4 price action chart, the technical indicators are flat to bearish within negative levels, near oversold. There are also no concrete technical signs keeping the EUR/USD Forex pair from correcting higher. Price action is below the key long-term simple moving averages.

The euro currency has broken below a long-term falling trend line in play since the all-time high of 1.6036 reach at the end of 2020. Since then, the EUR/USD Forex pair has failed to close back above it. The 23.6 percent Fibonacci level is also near, which could reinforce the bulls into next year.

The benchmark EUR/USD Forex pair has been falling, more or less, in a straight line since May of this year. The single currency also looks oversold but could continue moving lower against the greenback. A daily close below 1.12 could bring the sellers into this currency market.

However, on the upside, a daily close above the key static resistance congestion zone at 1.1460 to 1.1470 could bring the EUR/USD buyers back into the game. The 38.2 percent Fibonacci level is near 1.1690. A sustained close above 1.1690 paves the way for 1.20 then 1.24 comes into focus.
