Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair traded as high as 1.1482 and recently started a downside correction. There was a move toward the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the 1.1376 swing low to the 1.1482 high.

The pair seems to be stuck below the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour) and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). On the upside, the pair could face strong resistance at 1.1480. The next major resistance might be 1.1500.

A close above 1.1500 could start a steady increase. In the stated case, the bulls could aim for a move to 1.1620. If the bears remain in action, the pair might struggle to clear 1.1480.

On the downside, the pair might find support near 1.1400. There is also a rising channel forming with support at 1.1400. The first major support could be near 1.1375. A downside break and close below 1.1375 might send the pair toward 1.1320. Any more losses could open the doors for a test of 1.1250.
