Bold headline: EUR/USD eyes a 1.1800 test as 50-day EMA provides a shifting backdrop. But here’s where it gets controversial: will a break above 1.1800 truly cement a meaningful rally, or is consolidation ahead? The pair rebounds after three straight sessions of declines and trades near 1.1790 in the Asian session on Thursday. The 14-day RSI sits at 47, in neutral territory, signaling that upside momentum remains mild and that a move higher could stall unless buying interest strengthens. With RSI readings staying below 50, upside follow-through may be modest and topic to gentle pullbacks.
Daily chart perspective shows the 50-day EMA trending higher, with price just above it. The nine-day EMA has cooled after earlier strength, acting as a near-term cap to gains. Since the short-term average remains above the 50-day EMA, the bullish bias endures, but the narrowing gap warns of possible sideways movement or shallow consolidation.
Key support sits around the 50-day EMA at 1.1774. A decline below the medium-term average would lean the bias back toward the bearish side and expose the two-month trough of 1.1578, posted on January 19.
Price action currently tests the immediate barrier at 1.1800, followed by the nine-day EMA near 1.1833. A daily close above the short-term average could bolster a bullish tilt and open the door toward 1.2082, the highest level seen since June 2021.
