EUR/USD has declined below parity at the beginning of the week. As FXStreet’s Eren Sengezer notes, near-term technical outlook points to a buildup of bearish momentum.

Near-term technical outlook shows that buyers remain hesitant

“0.9950 (lower limit of the one-week-old range, static level) aligns as initial support. If this level turns into resistance, EUR/USD could slide toward 0.9900 (psychological level) and 0.9865 (September 6 low).”

“On the upside, 1.0000 (psychological level, 100-period SMA) forms significant resistance. In order to extend its rebound, the pair needs to stabilize above that level. In that case, 1.0030/40 (Fibonacci 50% retracement of the latest uptrend, 50-period SMA) and 1.0070 (200-period SMA, Fibonacci 38.2% retracement) could be targeted.”
