Hey everyone! Hope you're all having a solid trading week. Let's dive into EUR/USD today. It's been pretty range-bound lately, hovering around 1.0833, and the daily change of -0.16% tells us it's been leaning a bit bearish. We've seen it bounce between 1.08074 and 1.08585 today, confirming that sideways action.

Technical Readout


So, despite the sideways chop, I'm seeing a potential short setup for a swing trade here. My entry is set at 1.0841. Why there? We're currently bumping up against that 1.0859 resistance, and the price action looks like it's struggling to break higher. If we get a retest of that 1.0840-ish zone and it holds, it's a sweet spot to jump in. My stop loss is placed above the next major resistance at 1.0882, just shy of the 1.09 mark. If price gets up there, my thesis is likely broken.

Target & The Bigger Picture


For the take profit, I'm aiming for 1.0759. This level is strategically placed just above the solid 1.075 support. If the euro can't find clear catalysts to push through resistance, a move down to retest those lower bounds makes sense within this range. While specific news isn't driving this short, the general lack of strong bullish momentum for the Euro and potential for continued dollar strength could see us drift lower. It's all about trusting the process and letting the charts guide us. This one's a beauty if it plays out!
