The EURUSD broke a four-day losing streak in the previous trading session; the pair recovered some of the ground it lost last week. The general trend continues to be downwards as the price is trading below the short and long-term moving averages.
The pair is finding resistance on our 50% Fibonacci retracement at $0.97678; this is an important level as a breakout confirmation will represent a potential trend reversal. However, there is another strong resistance on our 38.2% Retracement at $0.98225.
The relative strength index is at 44%, allowing the pair to move in either direction before entering an oversold or overbought status. Our parabolic SAR indicator suggests that the price will continue to move upwards in the short term.
