EUR/USD price technical analysis: Below parity

The EUR/USD pair ignored the 1.0000 psychological level. Now it has reached the 0.99 psychological level. After its massive drop, a rebound was natural. The price tried to test and retest the 0.9952 broken obstacle but failed to signal strong downside pressure.

The descending pitchfork’s median line (ml) represents a dynamic resistance. As long as it stays under this level and below 0.9952, the EUR/USD pair could resume its downside movement.

The weekly S2 (0.9880) stands as a downside obstacle as the first downside target. Also, the descending pitchfork’s lower median line (LML) represents a downside obstacle. Technically, after failing to stay above the upper median line (UML), the rate could come back down towards the LML.
