EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Interim hurdle aligns at the 21-day SMA at 1.1283 ahead of the 200-day SMA

The Powell-led rebound in EUR/USD is now approaching the 21-day SMA beyond 1.1280.
If the pair manages to regain further upside impulse, then the key 200-day SMA at 1.1325 should come to the fore. This is regarded as the last defence of a test of monthly tops near 1.1420.
Looking at the broader scenario, below the 200-day SMA the bearish view on the pair remains intact.

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
