EURUSD Technical Analysis
The EURUSD pair recently spiked higher to trade near 1.1110 resistance zone where it found sellers, which ignited a downside reaction. The selling interest was very strong, as sellers managed to clear the 100 and 200 hourly simple moving average. However, there was a support formed around the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the 1.0920 low to 1.1113 high.
Moreover, there is also a bullish trend line on the hourly chart, which is acting as a hurdle for sellers but we cannot discard the fact that there is a lot of bearish pressure on the pair. So, if the pair stays below the 100 hourly SMA more losses are likely. A break below the highlighted trend line could take the pair towards the last swing low of 1.0920.
On the upside, if the pair moves above both the key SMA’s, then it might call for a chance of trend. A major barrier is around the 1.1060-80 resistance area, followed by the last swing high of 1.1110.
