EUR/USD Daily Price Chart ( June 19 - September 27, 2020 )
Chart Source: Webtrader, Capex.com
Last week, EUR/USD failed to overtake the bullish trendline originated from the August 3 low at 1.1694 and closed below the 50-day moving average generating a bearish signal. On Friday, the price closed above the low end of the current 1.1621- 1.1713 trading zone.
A daily close below the low end of the zone at 1.1621 reflects a stronger bearish sentiment and may send EURUSD towards the monthly support at 1.1459 (February 2019 high).
On the flip-side, a failure in closing below the low end of the zone signals bears reluctance and could reverse the pair’s direction towards the high end of the current trading zone at 1.1713.

Last week, EUR/USD slipped to the lower trading zone as discussed on the daily chart and started a downward trend creating lower highs with lower lows.
To conclude, while the bearish bias is still intact a break above 1.1661 changes the pair’s technical outlook to neutral and may cause a rally towards the high end of the current trading zone discussed above on the daily chart at 1.1713. On the other hand, a break below the 1.1600 threshold could send EUR/USD even lower towards 1.1530. As such, the support and resistance levels underlined on the chart should be considered.
