EUR/USD struggled on Wednesday, shedding 0.48% to trade around 1.0295. This latest drop underscores the pair’s inability to sustain any meaningful recovery, as multiple attempts to breach the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) since early 2025 have been met with forceful selling. As a result, bullish momentum appears to be receding, leaving sellers firmly in control of the near-term price action.
Technical readings paint a downbeat picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 39, reinforcing the notion that downward pressure is picking up pace. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram shows a decline in green bars, hinting that any previous efforts by buyers have begun to fade. Despite these setbacks, a definitive move above the 20-day SMA would still represent the clearest signal of a reversal, should buyers regroup and attempt another push higher.
Until that materializes, however, the path of least resistance remains tilted to the downside. Traders will keep a close watch on incoming macro catalysts and price action around the 20-day SMA for early signs of a possible turnaround.
