The EUR/USD currency exchange rate did not bounce off the resistance of the 200-hour SMA, as it was forecasted on Thursday. However, the pair began a decline without the help of the resistance level. Moreover, by the end of the day’s trading session the surge of the Euro against the US Dollar was resumed. Due to that reason a more in-depth analysis was done. As a result of the closer look, a short term ascending channel pattern was mapped. Although in accordance with the channel the pair should surge at least to the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level at the 1.1188 mark, it is highly possible that the 200-hour SMA, which on Friday was located at the 1.1176 level, will force the currency pair to change its direction sooner than expected.
