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.

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