This year has been marked by corrections in major stock indices, leading to new downward pressures on the EUR/USD pair (-0.83% YTD).

On the other hand, the EUR/USD pair doesn't seem to show any strong technical signals that the downward trend could resume. Nevertheless, on the 4-hour chart, we observe that the resistance zone marked by the grey rectangle, along with the EMA, has played a significant role.
