Daily Timeframe</p><p>On the daily chart, we can see that the EURUSD pair
got rejected perfectly from the key <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/">resistance</a> around
the 1.0620 level where we had the <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-confluence-20220318/">confluence</a> with the
<a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-trendlines-20220406/">trendline</a> and the
38.2% <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-using-fibonacci-retracements-20220421/">Fibonacci retracement</a> level.
The sellers stepped in with a defined risk above the trendline to position for
a break below the 1.05 support and target the 1.02 handle next. Yesterday, we
got a bounce from the support level, and we will likely see some late sellers
trying to join the trend on this pullback. </p><p>EURUSD Technical Analysis –
4 hour Timeframe</p><p>On the 4 hour chart, we can see that the last leg
lower into the 1.05 support <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-divergence-20220429/">diverged</a> with the
<a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-macd-20220427/">MACD</a> which is
generally a sign of weakening momentum often followed by pullbacks or
reversals. In this case, we got the pullback into the trendline where the
downtrend has likely resumed. The price is now getting rejected from the red 21
<a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/">moving average</a> as the
sellers are starting to pile in with a defined risk above the last swing high
to position for a drop into new lows. The buyers, on the other hand, will need
the price to break above the trendline to switch the bias from bearish to
bullish and start targeting new higher highs. </p><p>EURUSD Technical Analysis –
1 hour Timeframe</p><p>On the 1 hour chart, we can see that we
got another divergence recently which led to a pullback into the swing high
around the 1.0550 level. The sellers leant on the resistance with a tight risk
above the level and a great risk to reward setup. The break below the
counter-trendline should be a confirmation that the bearish momentum is strong
and more sellers are likely to pile in to target new lows. </p><p>The buyers, on the other hand, will want
to see the price reversing and break above the resistance zone to invalidate
the bearish setup and target the break above the trendline. Alternatively, we
can expect the buyers to step in around the 1.05 support to try another rally
from the lows with a great risk to reward setup. </p><p>Upcoming Events</p><p><a href="https://www.forexlive.com/EconomicCalendar">Today</a> we will get the US Retail Sales data and it
will be interesting to see if consumer spending has weakened or it’s still
holding on. On Thursday, we will get the US Jobless Claims report and we will
also hear from Fed Chair Powell with the market focused on any hint about the
near term policy outlook. </p><p>See the video below</p>
