EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro meets support at 1.1600 figure

EUR/USD almost reached the 1.1600 level after it lost more than 140 pips from the weekly high.
EUR/USD is now consolidating the last decline as EUR/USD might not have enough fuel to break 1.1600 just yet. Bulls might extend the pullback up near 1.1640 -1.1649 area and 1.1672.
A breakout below 1.1600 would lead to the resumption of the bear trend towards 1.1560 June 14 low and 1.1508 current 2018 low.
