Introduction
Euro FX Futures (6E) have rallied but are still in a consolidation period since August, with prices hovering between 1.142 and 1.182. Bulls will be looking to push price above the 50 moving average while bears will be wanting to hold the price below it. The 50 and 200 MA are converging highlighting the consolidation phase.
Let’s take a closer look at what the technicals are saying.
Technical Overview
6E Daily Chart Technical Analysis
After sliding steadily throughout October and early November, 6E found support at the 1.1424 level, which has acted as a support throughout the summer. Price respected this zone once again, forming a mild higher low and rebounding toward the 50-day moving average.
6E is now approaching two major technical barriers:
50-day moving average – 1.16536
Price is currently testing this dynamic resistance. The euro has failed to close above the 50-day MA for nearly six weeks, so a clean breakout here would signal improving bullish momentum.
Horizontal resistance cluster – 1.182–1.18895
This is the heavy supply zone that capped price in September and again in October. It remains the upper boundary of the broader multi-month range.
If buyers manage to break through both zones, the next upside target would be the 1.19 area, followed by potential continuation toward summer highs.
However, until 6E clears resistance convincingly, the broader trend remains neutral-to-slightly-bearish.
On the downside
Initial support remains at 1.1424, with the more important long-term dynamic support coming from the 200-day moving average at 1.14380 — almost perfectly aligned with that same horizontal level. If this dual support cluster fails, the euro could retreat into the 1.1250–1.1300 zone.
Momentum
The RSI at 57.19 shows improving bullish momentum and has recovered from oversold readings seen in mid-November. This supports the idea that a short-term bottom may be forming — but momentum alone is not confirmation unless price breaks above the 50-day MA.

Probability Table (Next 2–3 Weeks)
| Scenario | Estimated Probability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bounce continues → retest 1.182–1.189 | 45% | RSI improving, price holding support, but resistance overhead still heavy. |
| Consolidation between 1.142–1.166 | 40% | Likely if euro stalls at the 50-day MA again. |
| Breakdown below 1.142 → drop toward 1.125 | 15% | Possible if macro sentiment shifts risk-off or USD strengthens broadly. |
Fundamentals
The euro has been under pressure because the ECB and the Fed are moving in different directions. The ECB is slowing its tightening plans as inflation cools and Europe’s economy weakens. The U.S. dollar has pulled back from its peak, but it still gets support from steady U.S. data and a Fed that is not in a hurry to cut rates.
Even so, the euro has found some breathing room as global risk sentiment steadies and European PMIs improve. Traders are now focused on upcoming inflation data from both the U.S. and the EU. These reports will likely decide whether 6E climbs above its 50-day moving average or falls back toward recent lows.
Summary
Euro FX Futures are trying to rebound after holding the 1.1424 support area. Momentum is picking up, and 6E is testing the 50-day moving average again, which has stopped rallies several times before.
If price breaks above 1.166, it could move toward the 1.182 to 1.189 zone. If it fails, 6E will likely fall back into a choppy mid-range or even retest support.
For now, the short-term tone has shifted from bearish to neutral with a slight bullish lean. A confirmed move higher will only come with a close above resistance.
