EURUSD Technical Analysis
The Euro remained under the 1.0600 resistance area against the US Dollar, and it looks like the EURUSD pair might continue to face sellers on the upside near 1.0600 and 1.0640.
There was a move above the 1.0600 resistance, and a bearish trend line on the 4-hours chart recently. However, it turned out to be a false move, as the pair moved back below 1.0600.
On the upside, there is another resistance at 1.0640 in the form of a bearish trend line. It holds a lot of value, as is coincides with the 100 and 200 simple moving average (H4).
As long as the pair struggles to make a sustained move above 1.0640, there can be additional losses in the short term. On the downside, an initial support is seen at 1.0550, followed by 1.0520.
