EURUSD Technical Analysis

The Euro after trading as low as 1.0570 against the US Dollar found support, and started a recovery. The EURUSD is correcting higher, but faces a major resistance near 1.0675 and 1.0690.

The pair recently traded near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.0906 high to 1.0570 low. However, it faces a major hurdle near 1.0675, as the 200 simple moving average (H4) is positioned.

Moreover, there is a contracting triangle pattern with resistance near 1.0670 on the 4-hours chart. Furthermore, the 100 simple moving average (H4) is waiting on the upside at 1.0690 to act as a resistance. On the downside, the 1.0610 is triangle support.

Overall, it looks like the pair may trade in a range before attempting an upside break above 1.0690.
