EUR/USD longer term sell signal [Video]

Currently trading at 1.1446, the market sentiment indicates a bearish outlook, contrasting with a consensus that remains more optimistic around 1.1700 for March 2026. This divergence underscores the challenges facing the Euro, as inflation concerns and the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy stance weigh heavily on the currency's value. Investors should consider this shift as critical in evaluating their positioning in the FX market.

Market implications
Traders should monitor for any shifts towards the lower resistance at 1.1400, as breaking this level could accelerate downside momentum. Upcoming ECB meetings will be crucial, particularly their tone regarding interest rates, as this aligns with our consensus target of 1.1634.
Risks to this view
Should inflationary pressures in the Eurozone abate significantly, or if the ECB adopts a more hawkish stance, it could invalidate the current bearish outlook. A move above 1.1700 may test these bearish predictions.
