The EUR/USD is under significant bearish pressure.

Technical Analysis

On the 15 minutes chart, the EUR/USD is attempting to retest the significant sentiment and technical region of 1.10.

On the hourly chart, the EUR/USD is facing support at the lower bollinger band. If the currency pair succeeds, 1.10 will be the next target.

On the 4 hourly chart, we see a similar support at the lower bollinger band.

Looking at the daily chart, we see a double top chart pattern. If this continues, we may be seeing an attempt for the previous low of September.

Fundamental and Sentimental Considerations

The German ZEW Economic Sentiment came out better than expected. It was reported to be -2.1 instead of -13.2. Having said so, it is important to understand that it is still a negative which translates to a poor outlook. As a survey of analysts, this sentiment report holds a weight. Their sentiments may be derived from their working knowledge of the economy and hence may be an early indicator of economic health.

US President Trump mentioned that an agreement on the interim deal could happen soon. However he went on to warn that he was ready to raise tariffs on Chinese imports significantly if no deal is agreed upon. The markets likely reacted with risk aversion as risk appetite retreats. This likely added upside pressure for the US dollar as investors sought “safe haven” assets.
