EUR/USD: Short Setup Below Key Resistance

Market Overview and Technical Structure

The EUR/USD pair currently trades around 1.0829, reflecting a slight bearish inclination over the past 24 hours with a change of -0.19%. Price action has been largely contained within a sideways trend, operating between the immediate support at 1.0798 and resistance at 1.0861, as evidenced by the day range of 1.07975 to 1.08605. While the broader trend is sideways, recent price rejection from the upper boundary suggests a potential move lower within this consolidation. The structure is clear: we are operating within well-defined boundaries, and a retest of the lower bound is a distinct possibility.

Trading Idea: Short Opportunity

My analysis indicates a compelling short opportunity for EUR/USD. I am looking to initiate a short position at 1.0839. This entry point strategically places us just below the immediate resistance at 1.0861, anticipating a rejection from this level and a continuation of the downside pressure seen recently. My stop loss is firmly set at 1.0889, positioning it above the 1.0861 resistance and providing ample room above the next significant resistance at 1.
