EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro capped below 1.1400 post-US inflation

  • EUR/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average.  
  • Earlier in the day, he Core Personal Consumption Expenditures for September came in at 2% in line with analysts forecasts with mild reaction on the currency pair.
  • EUR/USD is currently finding resistance near the 1.1400 figure as bears want a retest of the 1.1300 (2018 low).  EUR/USD might have run its course as the market is forming a small head-and-shoulders pattern while technical indicators are gaining some bullish traction. Bulls would need a breakout above 1.1400 on a daily closing basis. After which 1.1430 and 1.1500 could potentially be back on the radar. Alternatively, failure to recapture 1.1400 in the coming sessions could lead to a slump to the 2018 low.
