EUR/USD remains on the back foot near 1.1760

EUR/USD faces extra selling pressure and retreats further south of the 1.1800 support on Wednesday following quite a marked rebound in the US Dollar. The US ADP report, in the meantime, disappointed expectations in June after employers cut jobs by 33K.

EUR/USD Technical Overview

The daily chart for the EUR/USD pair shows it is finally correcting after advancing for nine days in a row. The slide is limited as the dominant trend is bullish, and higher highs are still likely, but not in the near term. The mentioned chart shows technical indicators heading lower, yet with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator still within overbought readings. At the same time, the pair develops far above bullish moving averages, with the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) currently at around 1.1570.

In the near term, the EUR/USD pair is battling around a bullish 20 SMA after briefly falling below it. The 4-hour chart also shows the 100 and 200 SMAs heading firmly higher, well below the current level, reflecting buyers’ dominance. Finally, technical indicators turned lower, yet remain above their midlines, limiting the odds for a steeper decline.

Support levels: 1.1745 1.1695 1.1640

Resistance levels: 1.1830 1.1880 1.1910

Fundamental Overview

The EUR/USD pair came under selling pressure throughout the first half of the day, although the broad US Dollar (USD) weakness kept the slide limited. Market players keep their eyes on the United States (US) amid fiscal and political woes.

On Tuesday, the US Senate passed US President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” by a very slim margin, as the vote was split 50-50, with Vice-President JD Vance defining the vote. The bill has now passed to the House for debate. Stocks turned south amid speculation that the big tax cut promised by President Trump will not happen.

At the same time, Trump’s threats to Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell affect the mood. Powell & co maintain interest rates at restrictive levels amid uncertainty about the impact of tariffs on inflation. President Trump is furious with Powell’s stance.

Other than that, the country has just released the ADP Employment Change report, which showed that the private sector lost 33,000 job positions in June, much worse than the 95,000 additions expected. Even further, the May reading was downwardly revised to 29,000 from the 37,000 previously reported. The Greenback fell with the negative surprise, helping EUR/USD bounce from an intraday low of 1.1747.

The macroeconomic calendar has nothing more to offer today, but European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is delivering the closing remarks at the central bank forum in Sintra, Portugal.
