EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Lack of bearish enthusiasm near October lows

  • EUR/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.  
  • EUR/USD bear tried to break below 1.1430 (the October low) but the market rebounded from the support level. The lack of bearish conviction near the monthly low can be seen as bearish weakness, especially on the third attempt in October.  In the short term, bulls should try to retake 1.1500 and possibly 1.1530 if they gather enough steam.  
  • However, EUR/USD remains predominantly bearish and a break below 1.1430 should invalidate the short-term bullish bias.
