EURUSD daily regime, 22 October 2026

Regime: Higher timeframe bearish structure, short-term recovery consolidating below resistance.

The reference price is 1.12325, from the completed M5 candle closed at 00:35 UTC on 22 October.

Structure

W1 observation: EURUSD fell from the August high at 1.17111 through a sequence of lower weekly highs and lows. The latest completed week recovered from 1.11125 and closed at 1.12385, but remained below 1.12691 and the prior breakdown area around 1.13587 to 1.13909.

D1 observation: The rebound from 1.11125 has produced higher short-term lows, but upside progress stalled after 1.12691. The 21 October candle was neutral, closing at 1.12322 after trading between 1.12136 and 1.12403.

Inference: The broader structure remains bearish, while the daily chart is correcting or building a base. A sustained break above 1.12691 would strengthen the recovery case. Below that level, rallies remain vulnerable to renewed selling.

H4 and H1 condition

H4 is compressed around 1.1220 to 1.1240 after failing to extend the 20 October move above 1.12604. Recent candles have repeatedly crossed the 1.1220 to 1.1235 area, showing balance rather than clean directional control.

The latest completed H1 candle closed at 1.12337 at 00:00 UTC after reaching 1.12357. Since that close, completed M5 candles traded up to 1.12348, then fell to 1.12316 and closed at 1.12325. The attempt to hold above the H1 close has therefore already fired and stalled. No break of the nearby 1.12316 support or 1.12348 resistance has been confirmed.

Scenario map

• Range continuation: While price remains between 1.12291 and 1.12403, the active condition is consolidation. Movement inside this band carries weak directional information.

• Bullish extension: Acceptance above 1.12403 would expose 1.12604, followed by 1.12691. A sustained break above 1.12691 would mark a material improvement in the daily recovery, though the weekly structure would still face resistance above 1.13587.

• Bearish resumption: A confirmed move below 1.12291 would weaken the overnight recovery and expose 1.12151 to 1.12136. Loss of that area would bring 1.12041 into view, with 1.11756 below.

Event risk

The dated high-importance risk is US Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC on 22 October 2026. It occurs after the verified cutoff and can disrupt any range break around the listed intraday levels. No supplied calendar event occurred before the cutoff on 22 October.

The working bias is neutral inside 1.12291 to 1.12403, bearish below the range, and cautiously constructive only after acceptance above 1.12403.
