EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Strong reversal up sees EUR/USD en route to 1.1700 figure

EUR/USD is now less than 20 pips away from the 1.1700 figure which acted as an important support/resistance level throughout the week.
EUR/USD erased all its losses made earlier on Friday and is set to end the day with 0.12% gain.
The bull reversal was fairly strong as it broke above the bearish trendline and the 200-period simple moving average suggesting that more up can be on the cards.
