EURUSD price daily chart 09-12-19 zoomed in

Looking at the daily chart, we notice on Friday the pair’s sellers pressed EUR/USD below the 50-Day average. However, the price rallied after and remained in current trading zone 1.1050- 1.1220 as some sellers took profit.

Hence, a successful close below the low end of the zone could embolden sellers to lead EURUSD towards 1.0912. Although, the weekly support levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) would offer attractive exit points for some sellers.

That said, a close above the low end of the zone could mean more of the same i.e. more of the sideways move. A close above the high end of the zone could be a clear signal for buyers to take charge and push EUR/USD towards the vicinity of 1.1279-86. In that scenario, the weekly resistance level and areas marked on the chart should be kept in focus.

On the other hand, a break above 1.1130 could cause a rally towards 1.1187. Yet, the weekly resistance level underlined on the chart should be watched closely.
