EUR/USD: Fading the Downside Narrative at Key Support

Technical Setup & Institutional Flow

Alright traders, let's talk EUR/USD. The pair has been stuck in a fairly tight sideways range, currently hovering around 1.08645 after a slight 0.13% gain over the last 24 hours. While many are still eyeing a deeper breakdown, I'm seeing evidence that suggests a different play for the intraday timeframe.

I'm looking for a long entry around 1.0858, anticipating a further move higher. My stop loss is placed strategically at 1.0823, just below the recent support, giving us enough room while defining our risk moderately.

This could provide a fundamental tailwind
