EUR/USD Forecast: The Euro Breaks to a Fresh 2026 Low Below 1.1450
Friday 19 June 2026, Juneteenth, thin US holiday liquidity. EUR/USD is trading around 1.1464 after printing a fresh 2026-area low at 1.1422, just above the 1.1416 year low. Daily RSI is oversold. Levels cross-referenced against Yahoo Finance, CNBC, FXStreet and Investing.com.
This is a dollar move, not a euro move
EUR/USD is the mirror of the dollar, and it has broken to a fresh 2026 low. The pair lost the 1.1500 floor on Warsh’s hawkish hold and has been dragged lower by a dollar that just hit a fresh 2026 high on a hike-bias dot plot. The euro is not the story here. The ECB is on hold with little fuel of its own, and even with Executive Board member Philip Lane talking up inflation staying above 3% for the rest of the year, the widening Fed-minus-ECB policy-path gap is doing the work against the single currency.

How the desk is reading it
Structure is in lower-low motion and the 1.1500 broken floor is now the pivot resistance. Downside liquidity sits at 1.1450, then the 1.1416 to 1.1422 year low as the major objective, then 1.1400. A clean reclaim back above 1.1500 on a daily close would neutralise the immediate bearish read, and that would need softer US data or a dovish Fed walk-back.
Room for a bounce
Balance matters here. Daily RSI is oversold and the pair is parked right on its year low into a thin Juneteenth holiday tape on a Friday. That is exactly the setup that produces sharp relief bounces and consolidation. The trend is lower, but chasing the last tick into oversold, illiquid conditions is how you get squeezed, so respect a snapback toward 1.1500.
FAQ
Why is EUR/USD falling?
It is a dollar move. The Fed’s hawkish hold under Warsh, with a 2026 dot near 3.8% and nine officials seeing a hike, pushed the dollar to a fresh 2026 high. With the ECB on hold, the widening Fed-minus-ECB gap is dragging EUR/USD to a fresh 2026 low below 1.1450.
How low can the euro go?
The immediate downside target is the 1.1416 to 1.1422 year low, then the round 1.1400. But daily RSI is oversold into a thin holiday tape, so a relief bounce toward the broken 1.1500 floor is a live near-term risk before any further leg lower.
What would turn EUR/USD bullish again?
A clean daily close back above 1.1500, which would most likely need softer US data or a dovish Fed walk-back to materialise.
