• EUR/USD regains composure after the earlier drop near 0.9900.
• Bullish attempts should meet initial hurdle near 1.0100.

EUR/USD reverses the initial pessimism, including a test of the vicinity of the 0.9900 zone on Monday.

The recent failure to advance beyond 1.0100 leaves this region as a potential near-term top, while the 0.9900 neighbourhood seems to offer quite a decent contention for the time being. The breach of the 2022 low at 0.9899 (August 23) could sponsor a deeper pullback to the December 2002 low at 0.9859.

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view is expected to prevail as long as it trades below the 200-day SMA at 1.0819.
