EURUSD Technical Analysis

The Euro traded towards 1.1290 against the US Dollar recently, but failed to break it once again. However, the EURUSD pair remains supported on the downside above 1.1100.

The recent low was near 1.1130 from where a recovery started. The pair is moving nicely and may once again make an attempt to surpass 1.1300.

Having said that, it won’t be easy for buyers to overtake sellers above 1.1300. If they succeed, it could open the doors for further gains may be towards 1.1500.

On the upside, an initial hurdle is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.1295 high to 1.1130 low. A break above it may push the pair towards 1.1280.

On the downside, the most important support is at 1.1120, followed by the 200 simple moving average (4-hour) at 1.1110.
