The weekly structure remains bearish, but mixed D1 closes and a bullish H4 setup leave room for consolidation or a countertrend recovery before the next directional test.
EUR/USD Weekly Forecast at a Glance
In brief
EUR/USD has a bearish weekly bias, although bullish H4 momentum and mixed D1 closes leave room for consolidation before the next larger directional test.
The D1 trend remains bearish with negative momentum, and price is below the EMA20, EMA50 and SMA200 reference values. The falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes reinforce the broader downside structure, while the mixed D1 close sequence argues against treating continuation as immediate or certain.
H4 provides countertrend pressure rather than a replacement for the D1 thesis: its bullish tactical state, positive MACD histogram and RSI above 50 support a recovery or consolidation phase. The weekly structure would face a more serious challenge above 1.12758 and especially at the 1.1301 upper boundary, while 1.11638 and 1.11121 remain the important downside references.

Current EUR/USD Price and Weekly Market Context
The D1 timeframe controls the weekly thesis: bearish trend and negative momentum are reinforced by falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes, while price remains below the supplied moving-average references. H4 is bullish, with positive short-term momentum and price around its Bollinger middle reference, so it supplies a tactical recovery warning rather than a new weekly direction. Stable volatility suggests neither expansion nor compression is currently dominant.

Is EUR/USD Bullish or Bearish This Week?
The primary scenario is bearish continuation toward the supplied downside references, supported by D1 trend and momentum. A bullish H4 condition and mixed D1 closes keep a consolidation or countertrend recovery scenario active. A stronger bullish alternative would require a completed D1 close above the supplied upper structural boundary.
Scenario 1 of 3Bullish reversal
- D1 confirmation
- A completed D1 close above 1.1301 would provide the clearest structural evidence that the bearish weekly framework has weakened and would bring the bullish target references at 1.13794 and 1.14173 into consideration.
- H4 tactical signal
- A move through the H4 resistance reference at 1.12198, combined with the existing bullish H4 state, would strengthen the tactical recovery case, although it would remain subordinate to D1 evidence.
- Targets
- 1.13794, 1.14173
- Scenario failure condition
- The bullish recovery case would weaken if H4 strength fails to extend and D1 pressure resumes toward 1.11638, particularly if the mixed close sequence resolves back in line with the bearish trend.
Scenario 2 of 3Base / neutral
- D1 confirmation
- A mixed D1 close sequence with price holding between the supplied support and resistance references would preserve a neutral consolidation interpretation despite the bearish trend classification.
- H4 tactical signal
- The base case is supported while bullish H4 momentum offsets, but does not overturn, the negative D1 momentum and the two timeframes continue to point in different directions.
- Targets
- A two-sided range between 1.11638 and 1.12758 would represent the clearest supplied consolidation framework; the wider resistance reference is 1.13794.
- Scenario failure condition
- The consolidation case would weaken if a completed D1 close establishes movement beyond the supplied upper structural boundary at 1.1301 or below the supplied lower structural boundary at 1.11056.
Scenario 3 of 3Bearish continuation
- D1 confirmation
- Persistence of the bearish D1 trend and negative momentum, with price unable to reclaim 1.12758, would keep the downside scenario structurally favored and focus attention on 1.11638 and then 1.11121.
- H4 tactical signal
- H4 weakness back below its support reference at 1.12142 would remove part of the current tactical countertrend support and make renewed D1-led downside pressure more relevant.
- Targets
- 1.11121
- Scenario failure condition
- The bearish scenario would be materially weakened by one completed D1 close above 1.1301, while a sustained H4 recovery below that boundary would still need D1 confirmation before changing the weekly thesis.
EUR/USD D1 Outlook and H4 Technical Triggers
The daily timeframe controls the weekly thesis. H4 evidence is used only for earlier confirmation, tactical warning and scenario-failure context. Complete live H4, H1 and intraday readings remain on the Technical page.
D1 Price Action and Market Structure
The reference D1 close is 1.12187, below the primary resistance at 1.12758 and above the primary support at 1.11638. The mixed D1 close sequence shows that the bearish trend has not translated into a uniformly directional close pattern, but the position below the EMA20, EMA50 and SMA200 references keeps the larger structure pressured.
H4 Tactical Triggers
H4 is bullish and its last close of 1.12194 is above the Bollinger middle reference at 1.12 and the EMA20 at 1.12076, while the positive MACD histogram and RSI of 53.83 support short-term recovery pressure. The H4 close is also above its support reference at 1.12142 but below resistance at 1.12198, leaving tactical confirmation incomplete and subordinate to D1.
Technical Indicators at a Glance
Automated technical summary
The automated picture is directionally mixed across timeframes: D1 is bearish with negative momentum, falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes, and a mixed close sequence; H4 is bullish with positive short-term momentum. Stable volatility makes level interaction and event timing more important than any volatility-based directional inference.

Stable volatility
One ATR either side of the latest close. A measure of move size, not a price target.
Stable volatility indicates a relatively steady trading environment rather than a directional signal. The D1 ATR reference is larger than the H4 ATR reference, so weekly level tests may develop through broader D1 movement while H4 remains useful for tactical timing context.

Technical conclusion: The central weekly evidence remains the bearish D1 trend, negative D1 momentum and falling longer-term moving-average slopes. The strongest counterargument is the bullish H4 configuration, supported by positive H4 MACD and RSI above 50, while mixed D1 closes reduce immediacy. The next supplied downside references are 1.11638 and 1.11121; recovery pressure is measured against 1.12758, 1.13794 and the 1.1301 upper boundary.

EUR/USD Weekly Support, Resistance and Invalidation
| Level | Role | Timeframe | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.11638 | Primary support | D1 | It is the first supplied downside reference below the 1.12187 D1 close and the nearest structural area for testing whether bearish pressure is extending. |
| 1.11121 | Secondary support and bearish target | D1 | It is the second supplied support and the permitted bearish target reference if downside development continues. |
| 1.12758 | Primary resistance | D1 | It is the first supplied resistance above the reference close and a key level for judging whether the H4 recovery is gaining broader D1 traction. |
| 1.13794 | Secondary resistance and bullish target | D1 | It is the next supplied resistance and one of the permitted bullish target references if the recovery develops beyond the primary resistance. |
| 1.14173 | Bullish target reference | D1 | It is the higher permitted bullish target reference and remains conditional on a sufficiently strong recovery through the supplied resistance structure. |
| 1.12142 | H4 support | H4 | It is the supplied short-term support reference beneath the H4 close and helps assess whether the current tactical bullish condition is holding. |
| 1.12198 | H4 resistance | H4 | It is the supplied short-term resistance reference above the H4 close and the immediate tactical hurdle for recovery pressure. |

EUR/USD Outlook for 17–24 October 2026
EUR/USD enters 17–24 October 2026 with a bearish D1 structure and negative momentum, but the technical picture is not one-directional. The reference close remains between the principal support and resistance references, while H4 bullishness and mixed D1 closes leave room for consolidation or a tactical recovery.
The bearish case gains weight if D1 pressure returns toward 1.11638 and 1.11121, while a recovery through 1.12758 would require closer attention to the higher resistance references and the 1.1301 structural boundary. Scheduled USD and EUR events may accelerate repricing around those existing levels, but their outcomes and reactions remain unknown.
Weekly Forecast Risks and What Would Change the Outlook
- H4 and D1 disagreement: The bullish H4 state, positive H4 MACD histogram and RSI of 53.83 provide countertrend pressure against the bearish D1 structure.
- Mixed D1 close sequence: Mixed closes reduce the immediacy of the bearish setup and leave greater scope for two-sided movement between the supplied levels.
- Stable volatility: Stable volatility does not determine direction and may allow the market to develop gradually, making early level interaction less conclusive.
- Scheduled event repricing: The USD and EUR events on 22 and 23 October 2026 may increase short-term movement around support, resistance and scenario boundaries without a known directional outcome.
Formal weekly invalidation: The bearish weekly thesis is formally invalidated by one completed D1 close above 1.13010. One completed D1 close below 1.11056 confirms lower structural extension and continuation.
