The EURUSD rose earlier today, reaching a swing high between 1.1406 and 1.14239. It mostly stayed above the lower end of that range, with just a brief dip that was quickly fixed. Right now, buyers are in control. The next target is 1.1479, which corresponds to levels from April 21 and April 22. If it drops below 1.14066, control may shift from buyers to sellers. Earlier, EUR/USD approached the upper limit of a swing zone, hitting about 1.14239 after finding support at 1.1406. The pair remained above this lower boundary for most of the session, with only a quick dip that was reversed. This behavior is usually seen as a sign of strength from buyers. The immediate goal is clear: to challenge the 1.1479 level, which acts as resistance established in late April. This point hasn’t been convincingly tested since, making it an important short-term target. However, if the price falls below 1.14066 and stays there for a while, it could shift market control to sellers. A close below that level could lead to increased volatility as stop-loss orders activate. From our viewpoint, this price action creates a useful boundary for determining market direction. In this situation, the support around 1.1406 gives buyers a nearby level to defend. When the price stays above a previously shaky line, traders may see that as a reliable support point. However, for those trading options or leveraged futures, if the rally struggles below 1.1479, it may suggest fatigue, especially with recent market behavior. Markets don’t usually move in straight lines, so if momentum starts to fade, prices may drift back toward the middle of established ranges. Waiting for a fail point instead of chasing breakouts may be more effective, especially when open interest shows a crowded sentiment. Volatility has been moderate, but action near known resistance levels that haven’t broken in weeks can lead to sharper moves once repeatedly tested. Whether those moves go up or down will depend on which side backs off first. Holding above the current support keeps the upward trend alive for now. A reassessment at 1.1479, if we reach that point, will indicate whether buyers remain committed beyond what appears to be a soft technical ceiling.
