The upper boundary of the Bollinger Band at 1.1050 acts as an immediate resistance level for EUR/USD. The additional upside filter to watch is a high of August 10 at 1.1065, en route to a high of July 24 at 1.1147.

On the flip side, the initial support level will emerge at the 1.1000 psychological round mark. The critical contention is seen at the 1.0970-1.0980 region, representing the confluence of the lower limit of the Bollinger Band and the 50-hour EMA. Further south, the next downside target is located near the 100-hour EMA at 1.0926 and finally at 1.0888 (Low of December 15).
