The EUR/USD falls below the 1.1400 level ahead of the US opening, having been as low as 1.1366 earlier in the day. The dollar's intraday strength is being attributed to falling European bonds, and rising yields, although some profit taking, triggered by escalating Greek woes, can also be behind this moves. Nevertheless, the EUR/USD pair trades within familiar ranges, and even regained briefly the mentioned high as buyers are waiting on dips. Technically however, the short term picture favors the downside, as the 1 hour chart shows that the price develops below its 20 SMA, whilst the technical indicators head strongly south below their midlines. In the 4 hours chart, the technical picture is bearish, with the price extending below its 20 SMA and the technical indicators heading lower below their mid-lines. The 1.1340 level has proved strong in the past, so it will take a break below it to confirm additional declines in the pair, although buying interest will likely surge in the 1.1250/80 region, if reached.

Support levels: 1.1340 1.1310 1.1280

Resistance levels: 1.1415 1.1460 1.1500
