Despite all the volatility last week, EUR/USD is still bounded in range above 1.0176. Initial bias remains neutral this week and further decline is expected. On the downside, firm break of 1.0176 will resume whole fall from 1.1213. However, firm break of 38.2% retracement of 1.1213 to 1.0176 at 1.0572 will raise the chance of reversal, and target 61.8% retracement at 1.0817.
In the bigger picture, immediate focus is on 61.8 retracement of 0.9534 (2022 low) to 1.1274 (2024 high) at 1.0199. Sustained break there will solidify the case of medium term bearish trend reversal, and pave the way back to 0.9534. However, reversal from 1.0199 will argue that price actions from 1.1274 are merely a corrective pattern, and has already completed.
In the long term picture, down trend from 1.6039 remains in force with EUR/USD staying well inside falling channel, and upside of rebound capped by 55 M EMA (now at 1.0929). Consolidation from 0.9534 could extend further and another rising leg might be seem. But as long as 1.1274 resistance holds, eventual downside breakout would be mildly in favor.
