EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Profit-takers and bottom-pickers see EUR/USD rebound at 1.1300 figure

EUR/USD bear trend is finding some short-term support at 1.1300 figure.
EUR/USD bear trend is likely to take a breather above 1.1300 strong psychological level as bears are taking some profits and counter-trend traders are entering the market.
Targets to the upside are located near 1.1347, 1.1365 and 1.1432 supply/demand level. Counter-trend trades are riskier since a bear breakout below 1.1300 would invalidate the short-term bullish bias.
