EUR/USD four-hour chart
EUR/USD broke above the 1.1000 figure and hit the 1.1025 resistance while trading above its main SMAs. If the market holds above the 1.1000/1.1025 zone, a run to 1.1080 can be on the cards, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
EUR/USD 30-minute chart
EUR/USD is trading above its main SMAs, suggesting bullish momentum in the near term. Support is seen at the 1.1000 and 1.0976 support level. A daily close below the 1.1000 figure would alleviate the short term bullish bias.
