EURUSD Technical Analysis:

EURUSD was in a pull phase, with price trading inside the bearish channel. For a long, the price was trading above the 200MA and below the 50MA showing short-term due range movement.

There are multiple candle rejections around the psychological level of $1.10782, which the price touched thrice but could not break above it when the bulls were active and in control. The price of $1.10782 now is acting as a resistance.

When the multiple candle rejection pattern was formed, the RSI showed medium bearish RSI divergence signifying that bearish pressure was due, and in the next trading session, the sellers were in control until now when RSI showed the oversold condition, and the market came up. The price has recently broken the bearish channel and the 50MA.

The price was very close to the resistance of $1.10782, which it tested twice in the previous trading sessions. The price is on the verge of crossing the 50MA. Currently, the price is trading between $1.10782 and $1.06650. Traders must wait for the price to break any of these levels as on the 4hr time frame, the price looks to be trading in a consolidation state.
