EUR/USD

Bearish

Archived analysis from Jul 23, 2026, 1:22 PM

Key insight

The ECB rate hold today (widely priced in) removes the euro's last near-term catalyst, leaving the pair exposed to renewed USD strength driven by incoming US tariff escalation on 60+ trading partners effective August 1.

EUR/USD has failed to reclaim the 200-period SMA at 1.1480–1.1485 and is now fading below stubborn resistance at 1.1430, with MACD sub-zero and RSI at ~40 confirming waning bullish momentum on the day of the ECB hold decision.

Main risk

ECB post-decision guidance hawkish surprise

If ECB President Lagarde signals fewer future cuts than expected or flags upside inflation risks, EUR/USD could spike sharply back above 1.1430 resistance and challenge 1.1480.
