EUR/USD kicked off the week with a solid rally rising past 1.0450, climbing above key technical levels and suggesting that buyers are regaining momentum. The pair decisively broke through the confluence of the 20-day and 100-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), reinforcing a shift in sentiment. This move comes after last week's struggle around these levels, where sellers had temporarily kept the pair in check.

Technical indicators reflect this resurgence. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is rising sharply in positive territory, confirming an increase in buying pressure. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram shows decreasing red bars, hinting that while bullish momentum is strengthening, some consolidation could still take place before another push higher.

Looking ahead, immediate resistance is now located at 1.0520, a level that, if breached, could accelerate gains toward 1.0560. On the downside, support is found at 1.0450, which coincides with the recently broken moving averages. A drop below this level would weaken the bullish outlook and bring 1.0400 into focus.
