Despite the bad NFP result, the pair is still pulling down. Strong sentimental?

Euro/dollar attempted to push higher yesterday, topped at 1.1616 but tumbled down then and closed lower at 1.1499. The bias is bearish for test of 1.1400. Immediate resistance is at 1.1550, whose breach could lead price to neutral zone with re-testing 1.1616

NFP missed, the USD went higher
The US non-farm payrolls were expected at around 200k but they missed and posted 160k. The participation rate fell by 0.2% which held the unemployment rate steady at 5.0%, otherwise it would have ticked up two points. I agree that very unlikely a rate rise will happen in June.

On the last Friday’s session the EURUSD initially rallied but found enough selling pressure at 1.1460 to turn around and close near the low of the day, however managed to close within the previous day range, being slightly on the bearish side of neutral.
The pair closed for the second consecutive time below the 10-day moving average that is acting as a dynamic resistance although is still trading above the 50 and the 200-day moving averages that act as a dynamic support.
The key levels to watch are: Year high at 1.1616, a daily resistance at 1.1556, other daily resistance at 1.1459, the previous swing high at 1.1398 (support) and the 50-day moving average at 1.1306 (support).

EUR/USD started the new week hovering around 1.14 as there are not enough incentives to push the pair into clear direction. Immediate resistance is seen at 1.14450 and 1.1470 levels. The support is located at 1.14 and if we witness a break, the pair might drop to 1.1340.

I think your opinion is close to the truth. I see a possible fall even slightly below.

Consolidation continued today and the pair is still testing 1.1400. If it breaks below it next target will be around 1.1350. On the other hand, if it bounces off the support it will likely start climbing towards 1.1500 or even 1.1600 again.

The single currency fell slightly against the US dollar on Monday, trading volumes remained low throughout the day as investors looked for direction after disappointing employment data last week.
The pair moved between 1.1375 levels and 1.1419, before settling at 1.1382 for the day.
The economic calendar also failed to give clear direction to the currency since remained deprived of news that could influence the traders.

Yesterday EURUSD tried to rise but found enough resistance to reverse and close near the low of the day, in addition managed to close below the previous day low, suggesting a strong bearish momentum.
The pair is trading below the 10-day moving average that is acting as a dynamic resistance although is still trading above the 50 and the 200-day moving averages that act as a dynamic support.
The key levels to watch are: Daily resistance at 1.1556, other daily resistance at 1.1459, the 10-day moving average at 1.1435 (resistance), the 50-day moving average at 1.1315 (support) and a daily support at 1.1237.

EUR/USD did not make significant movement yesterday and again failed to conquer 1.14. The bias remains bearish in nearest term with a possible test of 1.1275 - 1.1200. First resistance is around 1.1430. A clear breakout beyond it, might take price to neutral trading zone for testing 1.1475 - 1.1500.

EUR/USD reached 1.1350 as I thought it would but for now the range between 1.1350 and 1.1400 continues. The pair is testing 1.1400 again, a possible breakout above that level will likely lead to a further move to the upside towards 1.1450 - 1.1500.

The EURUSD may try to go back up, but if it visits the 1.1500 level, that level may act as resistance. to the downside, the 1.1300 may act as support.
