Posted on August 20, 2020 at 1:00 pm GMT

EURUSD is on course for a bearish correction after the spike on the 27-month peak of 1.1965 on Tuesday. The sell-off, especially on Wednesday, has drove the price near the 40-period simple moving average (SMA) in the 4-hour chart. The momentum indicators are supportive of the bearish picture, with the RSI remaning inside negative territory, the MACD losing ground towards the zero line.

Euro rally stalls: just a pause or is a major correction in sight? – Special Report

After getting whipsawed and then clobbered at the height of the virus fallout in March, the euro is fast becoming one of the strongest performing currencies of 2020.
