The EUR/USD pair rebounded after its initial drop to 1.1653 last week, but remains in its range below 1.1848. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. The rally extends from 1.1408 to continue as long as the support at 1.1642 remains stable. A strong break of 1.1848 will target the next high at 1.2081. However, a strong break of the support at 1.1662 will indicate that the bounce from 1.1408 is complete, and will bring a deeper decline towards this bottom instead.
In the bigger picture, strong support from the 38.2% retracement level from 1.0176 to 1.2081 at 1.1353 suggests that a pullback from 1.2081 is likely a corrective move. Strong support was also found at the 55 W EMA (now at 1.1523). Focus is back on the key cluster resistance level 1.2. A decisive breakout there would have long-term bullish implications. However, breaking the support 1.1408 will revive the bearish trend reversal in the medium term.
In the long-term picture, the 38.2% retracement from 1.6039 to 0.9534 at 1.2019, which is close to the psychological level of 1.2000 is key to the outlook. Rejection at this level would keep the multi-decade downtrend from 1.6039 (2008 high) intact, and keep the outlook neutral at best. However, a decisive break of 1.2000/19 would signal a reversal of the long-term upside trend, targeting the 61.8% retracement levels at 1.3554.
