The EUR/USD pair continues to trade within a clear bearish trend on the four-hour timeframe after repeatedly failing to maintain price action above the 1.1660 region, which has formed a key resistance level that pushed prices back under renewed selling pressure.
The chart indicates that the pair remains below a short-term descending trendline alongside weakening bullish momentum, reflecting continued seller dominance over current market movement, particularly with the formation of consecutive lower highs supporting the bearish scenario in the near term.
Markets have become increasingly sensitive to energy prices and geopolitical tensions, which is currently supporting the strength of the U.S. dollar. In my view, continued rises in oil prices could push the Federal Reserve to maintain its hawkish stance, while the euro remains under pressure from the slowdown in the European economy
Technically, the pair is currently approaching a significant support zone around 1.1590–1.1580, an area that could determine the pair’s next directional move. A break below this zone and a four-hour close beneath it could support a further bearish extension toward deeper levels, especially after a corrective pattern failed to break above the key Fibonacci 0.618 resistance level. In addition, short-term moving averages have started turning negative, increasing the probability of continued selling pressure as long as trading remains below 1.1635.
On the other hand, a temporary technical rebound cannot be ruled out if the pair manages to stabilize above the current support area, particularly as momentum indicators approach oversold territory. However, any upside movement is likely to remain limited unless price achieves a clear breakout above 1.1660 and holds above it, as only then could the short-term technical outlook shift positively and open the way toward 1.1685 followed by 1.1700. Until then, the broader technical outlook remains bearish, with a stronger bias toward continued gradual declines.
Support Levels: 1.1590 – 1.1570 – 1.1545
Resistance Levels: 1.1635 – 1.1660 – 1.1685
