EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Spot poised for some consolidation near term. Resistance at 21-day SMA at 1.1616

The pair has started the week on a positive note so far, leaving behind Friday’s pullback.
Initial support emerges at the 10-day SMA in the 1.1530 region, coincident with recent lows. A breakdown of this zone should pave the way for another test of the key support at the 1.1500 neighbourhood.
On the upside, the 1.1616/28 band, where converge the 21- and 100-day SMA, appears as the initial hurdle ahead of a potential test of September’s peaks near 1.1800 the figure.
