A stronger US dollar across the board pushed EUR/USD back to the downside. The DXY erased losses and rose again to the 97.50 as equity prices in Wall Street rose further, recovering from Friday’s slide. The Dow Jones is up almost 2% and the Nasdaq 1.05%.

Short-term technical outlook
The EUR/USD is moving with an intraday bearish bias. The immediate support is seen at 1.1230. A break lower would expose the daily low at 1.1215. On the upside, the critical level is seen around 1.1250, the 20-hour moving average. If the euro rises above, it would gain momentum. The next resistance stands at 1.1275.
