At the moment, the price is facing hurdles near the 1.1225 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.1261 high to 1.1111 low. If there is an upside break above the 1.1225 level, the pair could continue higher towards 1.1250 or even 1.1260.
On the downside, there are many supports near the 1.1210 and 1.1200 levels. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at 1.1210 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD.
