View Live Chart for the EUR/USD
Uneventful Monday keeps EUR/USD holding near its recent highs around 1.3040, although the upside seems exhausted as indicators turn south and 20 SMA stands flat around 1.3000. A short term double roof stands at mentioned high with the neck line around 1.2965, and if below, then a correction towards 1.2880 key static support seems likely. In the 4 hours chart however, technical readings maintain a strong upward tone after correcting some of the extreme overbought readings, denying for now the downside. A break above 1.3040 exposes the 1.3110 area, 38.2% retracement of the latest daily fall.
Support levels: 1.2960 1.2920 1.2880
Resistance levels: 1.3040 1.3080 1.3110

In the 4 hours chart however momentum continues heading higher in positive territory, while 20 SMA approaches 200 EMA both around 1.5220 and acting as strong intraday support. Retracements up to this level won’t affect the bullish outlook of the pair, yet once above risk turns to the downside.
