EUR/USD declined on Friday’s session after the European close, moving near the 1.0820 zone as the pair tallied a third straight day in the red. After a strong rally earlier in the month, the pair has lost over 1% this week, with momentum indicators now flashing bearish signals. Still, structural support remains firm as key moving averages align beneath current price levels.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has sharply retreated within positive territory and now hovers near neutral, hinting at fading bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has shifted direction, printing a fresh red bar, which confirms weakening momentum in the short term.

From a broader perspective, a bullish crossover between the 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages has taken shape this week, forming a solid technical floor near the 1.0730 region. This development helps cushion the downside, even if sellers continue to weigh on the pair in the near term.

Looking ahead, immediate support is seen at the 1.0780-1.0730 zone, where the moving average crossover occurred. A break below could expose further losses toward 1.0660. On the upside, resistance now sits at 1.0900, followed by 1.1000 should buyers regain control.
