EUR/USD Price Analysis: Moves above 1.0700, next barrier at 21-day EMA
Source Fxstreet
- EUR/USD could approach the 21-day EMA at 1.0727.
- A break below 1.0700 could lead the pair toward the major support of 1.0650 and April’s low at 1.0601.
- A breach above the major level of 1.0695 suggests a weakening of bearish sentiment.
EUR/USD recovers its recent losses registered in the previous session, trading around 1.0710 during the Asian session on Thursday. From a technical standpoint, analysis suggests a weakening of bearish sentiment for the pair as it has surpassed the major level of 1.0695 and the psychological level of 1.0700.
Additionally, the lagging indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates a shift in momentum for the EUR/USD pair, as it is positioned below the centerline but above the signal line. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the 50-mark, indicating a continuation of bearish momentum.
Key support for the EUR/USD pair is likely to be found around the psychological level of 1.0700. A breach below this level could apply downward pressure on the pair, potentially leading it toward the region surrounding the major support level of 1.0650. Further support may be identified around April’s low at 1.0601, which aligns with the psychological level of 1.0600.
On the upside, the immediate barrier for the pair could be the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0727. A breakthrough above this level could propel the pair towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.0749, which is drawn between the levels of 1.0981 and 1.0606, coinciding with the major level of 1.0750.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant.
The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year.
Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus.
Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses.
Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
