EUR/USD Price Forecast: Weakens below 1.1450 amid oversold RSI momentum
The EUR/USD pair is showing signs of weakness as it dips below the key resistance level of 1.1450, aligning with the oversold RSI momentum indicated by FXStreet. This move reflects a broader correction in the euro's value against the USD, potentially prompted by short-term profit-taking or renewed strength in the dollar. Traders are increasingly cautious about euro strength in the current volatile environment, raising questions about the eurozone's economic resilience ahead of upcoming data releases.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target sits at 1.1700 (median across 11 firms), with Deutsche Bank at the upper bound (1.2500) and MUFG at the lower (1.1200). FXStreet's perspective on the weakening near 1.1450 contrasts with the expectations from several firms that see higher targets for the coming months.
How firms align
Several firms are positioning themselves ahead of the headline's view. For instance, Deutsche Bank and MUFG hold more bullish positions with targets of 1.1800 and 1.2600 for Mar26, respectively. Meanwhile, UOB's more bearish stance aligns with the sell pressures indicated by FXStreet.
What the data shows
Recent revisions suggest shifting sentiments with Deutsche Bank raising its Mar26 target to 1.1800, while Barclays maintains a target of 1.1700. These adjustments underline an evolving outlook on euro strength relative to USD, captured in our research at /research/eurusd-ecb-rate-path.

Market implications

Risks to this view
A stronger-than-expected economic data release from the eurozone or a shift in ECB policy could invalidate the current bearish view and push the EUR/USD back toward the consensus target of 1.1700 or higher.
