EUR/USD technical analysis

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair surpassed a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at 1.0520 on the same chart. There was a move above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.0936 swing high to the 1.0333 low.

The pair even tested the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour). On the upside, the pair could face resistance near the 1.0635 level.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.0936 swing high to the 1.0333 low is also near 1.0635. The first major resistance is near the 1.0650 level. A close above the 1.0650 level could set the tone for another increase.

The next major resistance could be the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour) at 1.0705, above which the price could climb higher toward the 1.080 resistance.

On the downside, immediate support sits near the 1.0500 level. The next key support sits near the 1.0450 level. Any more losses could send the pair toward the 1.0380 level.
