The EURUSD is trading sharply lower after breaking below a major technical support cluster defined by the 200-day moving average and the 38.2% retracement of the rally from the February 12 low. Both levels converged near 1.16806, creating an important barometer for buyers and sellers. Once the pair moved below that zone — and more importantly stayed below it — sellers gained the momentum needed to press the pair lower through the North American session.The next key downside target came in at a swing area between 1.16377 and 1.16464. After breaking below that support zone, the pair extended lower to a session low of 1.16159. From there, a corrective rebound developed, but the recovery stalled near 1.1655 — a level defined by prior swing lows from April 9 and April 30. The inability to move back above that resistance kept the sellers firmly in control and helped trigger another move back toward the session lows.Buyers did attempt to defend the 1.16159 low, but even that rebound ran into trouble. The latest recovery stalled against the lower end of the broken swing area at 1.16377, turning prior support into new resistance. That price action reinforced the bearish bias and showed sellers continuing to lean against key technical levels on every corrective bounce.So far today, sellers have defended two important resistance points: first at 1.1655 and then again at 1.16377. As long as the price remains below those levels, the downside bias remains firmly in place and buyers still have more work to do to regain control.In the video above, I outline the key trading bias, risk-defining levels, and the next upside and downside targets for the EURUSD.

💡 DMK Insight
The EURUSD’s drop below 1.16806 is a significant red flag for bulls right now. Breaking through the 200-day moving average and the 38.2% retracement level signals a shift in market sentiment, likely triggering further selling pressure. Traders should be wary of a potential continuation of this downtrend, especially if the pair fails to reclaim that support level in the coming sessions. Look for a retest of 1.16806 as a critical resistance point; if it holds, it could indicate a deeper bearish trend. On the flip side, if buyers manage to push back above this level, it could provide a short-term bounce opportunity. Keep an eye on related assets like the DXY index, as its movements could amplify the EURUSD’s volatility. Watch for any economic data releases that might influence the Euro or the Dollar, as these could act as catalysts for price action in the near term.
📮 Takeaway
Watch for the EURUSD to test the 1.16806 level; a failure to reclaim it could lead to further declines.
