EURUSD Technical Analysis

The Euro struggled this past week against the US Dollar, especially after an unexpected dovishness from the ECB. The EUR/USD pair tumbled and tested the 1.2300 support area.

The pair is currently trading above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.2396 high to 1.2299 low. On the downside, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support at 1.2325 on the 4-hours chart of EUR/USD.

As long as the pair is above the trend line support at 1.2325 and stays above the 100 (red) and 200 (green) simple moving averages (4-hours), it remains supported for a recovery in the near term.

On the upside, a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.2396 high to 1.2299 low is needed for more gains. Above 1.2345, the pair may continue to move higher and it could even retest the 1.2400 handle.
