EUR/USD Price Forecast: Bulls await breakout above 1.1270 resistance, range top
The EUR/USD pair is currently riding a wave of positive momentum, exhibiting gains for the past two days as it approaches a key resistance level around 1.1270. This near-term bullish sentiment is significant, as a breakout above this mark could signal a more sustained upward trajectory for the euro. Market participants are closely monitoring this development, hoping it substantiates longer-term bullish forecasts that suggest targets significantly higher, reflecting a broader bullish consensus for 2026.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target currently stands at 1.1500 (median across 14 firms), with CIBC and Commerzbank at the upper end of the spectrum (1.1866 and 1.1900, respectively) and HSBC at the lower end (1.1000). The sentiment expressed aligns closely with [fxstreet.com's](https://fxstreet.com) coverage, emphasizing the potential for continued upward movement if resistance levels can be overcome.
How firms align
The most optimistic views come from CIBC and Commerzbank, advocating for targets of 1.1866 and 1.1900 for March 2026, positioning them as aligned with the bullish narrative.

The divergence in opinions highlights the mixed outlook in the current market environment.
