EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Bearish view unchanged. Door open for a visit to YTD low at 1.1299

The pair is now seeing some recovery after dropping to the 1.1380 area on Wednesday, managing to regain the 1.1400 barrier and above.
Further downside should see the critical 200-week SMA tested at 1.1319, considered the last defense of a probable test of 2018 low at 1.1299 (August 15).
On the flip side, occasional bullish attempts should meet strong resistance in the 1.1493/1.1520 band, where converge the 10-day SMA, May 29 low and the 21-day SMA.
