EURUSD Technical Analysis
This past week, there was a fresh decline in EUR/USD from the 1.1215 swing high. The Euro traded below the 1.1150 support and tested the 1.1115 level against the US Dollar before it started an upside correction.
Looking at the 4-hours chart, the pair started a decent recovery from the 1.1116 swing low. It traded above the 1.1140 and 1.1150 levels.
There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.1215 high to 1.1116 swing low. However, there are many hurdles for the bulls waiting near the 1.1180 and 1.1190 levels.
There is also a bearish trend line formed on the same chart with current resistance near 1.1190. Besides, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours) is also near the trend line.
The next key resistance is near the 1.1200 level and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours). Therefore, a successful close above the 1.1200 level is must for further gains.
If the pair fails to move above 1.1190 or 1.1200, it could start a fresh decline in the coming sessions. An initial support is near 1.1140, below which EUR/USD might revisit 1.1116.
