The euro's serious weakness generated a technical signal on the daily chart that it is oversold. In this context, traders are expected to cut on short positions. In turn, this could enable the price retracement at least to 1.0800.
However, considering various scenarios, we should not rule out the likelihood of a further decline provided that the price settles below 1.0750. In this case, speculators could neglect an oversold technical signal of EUR/USD. If so, the instrument could its inertial move, but it would be unstable and eventually, would be interrupted with a retracement.
If the market maintains bearish sentiment, the odds are that the instrument will move towards support at 1.2350. At this level, traders could cut on short positions. Thus, the currency pair could slow down a downward correction.
