EUR Trades Close to Last Week's Lows, More Downside in View

Morning Brief:A week filled with surprises has concluded, marked by quarterly stock reports, the Federal Reserve's decision, and strong non-farm payroll data. The result is a robust global market sentiment all across the board.

The highlights were the impressive performance of technology companies, a solid labor market report, and the Federal Reserve tempering expectations for quick interest rate cuts. This spurred further gains on Wall Street and moderately strengthened the dollar.

The U.S. seems distant from recession fears, which dominated last year. Even if the January labor report is an anomaly, strong PMI and ISM data, coupled with excellent results from tech companies, suggest a healthy economy.

Technical Market Outlook:

The EUR/USD pair reversed from 1.0898 after the payroll data release, nearing last week's low around 1.0768. A break below could target the 1.0743 - 1.0723 range, a significant demand zone for bulls. The 61% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.0733 also emphasizes this zone's strength. Intraday support is at 1.0768, with resistance at 1.0797. The negative momentum on the H4 chart indicates a short-term bearish outlook.

EUR/USD Bullish Scenario:A reversal from the current support could lead to an upward move towards the 50-period DEMA and 100-period EMA. RSI divergence, if it occurs, could signal a weakening bearish momentum and a possible bullish reversal.

EUR/USD Bearish Scenario:A decisive break of support, marked by a strong bearish candle, may indicate a continuation of the bearish trend towards the next support level or the marked minimum. Rejection of upward movements by the 50-period DEMA or 100-period EMA could reinforce the bearish outlook.

Conclusion and Trading Insights:

Traders should monitor the EUR/USD pair for signs of a reversal or continuation of the current trend. Bulls might look for opportunities if the price respects the current support, while bears may anticipate a further decline if support levels are breached. However, traders should be aware of the risks and manage their positions accordingly, as market conditions can change rapidly.
