EUR/USD sinks: Is a pivot point nearby?
The EUR/USD has seen significant downward pressure, reaching 1.1446, sparking speculation on potential reversal points. This decline raises questions about whether the current oversold conditions are attracting buyers or if they signal a more profound weakness in the Eurozone. With recent USD strength and broader market dynamics, traders are closely monitoring this currency pair's reaction to approaching support levels.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target sits at 1.1634 (median across 11 firms), with SocGen at the upper bound (1.2000) and Lloyds at the lower (1.1200). The current level reflects a clear divergence from market expectations, with the spot trading notably lower than several firm forecasts.
How firms align
Firms like SocGen and RBC hold targets of 1.1700 and 1.1600, respectively, indicating a more optimistic outlook that contrasts with the current price action. However, Citi presents a bearish view with a Mar26 target of 1.1300, highlighting the range of sentiment in the market.

What the data shows
Recent revisions from UOB and ING, both targeting 1.1700 for March 2026, suggest that there may be room for a bounce back in the Euro. Continued draws on support levels will play a critical role in shaping trader sentiment and positioning moving forward.

Market implications
