EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Scope for extra downside. Target remains at 1.1300 and below

The pair remains under pressure and is now putting the 1.1350 area to the test, or fresh multi-week lows.
The continuation of the leg lower could open the door for a visit to the key 200-week SMA in the 1.1320 region. A break below this level could allow for a test of YTD lows in the 1.1300 neighbourhood ahead of December lows in the 1.1270/65 band.
The bearish outlook on EUR/USD is expected to persist as long as the short-term resistance line, today at 1.1542, caps.
