EUR/USD on Wednesday tentatively broke down below its original downside target of 1.3300, establishing a new 11-month low and extending the sharp bearish trend that originated from the May multi-year high.
The downtrend from May’s 1.3993 high has been swift, declining by more than 5% in around three months. The only respite during this newly established bearish trend thus far was a 38% pullback up to 1.3700 resistance in June.
During that same month, the 50-day moving average crossed sharply below the 200-day moving average, a technical event last seen in April of 2013, which highlighted the strength of the new bearish momentum.
After the breakdown below key 1.3500 support last month in late July, the stage was set for an extension of the downtrend towards the 1.3300 support target, last hit in November of 2013.
Downside Target
Now that this pivotal target has been reached and broken, a continuation of the entrenched bearish trend has been confirmed with a new downside target around the 1.3100 level, which was last hit in September of 2013. Upside resistance on any rebound/pullback resides around the 1.3400 level.
