EUR/USD four-hour chart

EUR/USD challenged the 1.1073 resistance and the 100 SMA as the buyers took control this Monday. However, the spot would need to overcome the 1.1073/1.1100 resistance zone on a daily closing basis to confirm a bullish reversal en route towards 1.1142, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.

EUR/USD 30-minute chart

The Euro is trading within the range of the last two days. The market is trading above its main SMAs, suggesting bullish momentum in the short term. However, bulls will need a daily close above 1.1073 to attract further buying interest. On the other hand, a daily close below 1.1016 would be seen as bearish. Immediate support is at 1.1040 and 1.1016. Further down lies the 1.0965 price level.
