EUR/USD Technical Analysis: The pair remains bid near 1.1400. Upside capped around 1.1460/70

Spot is advancing for the second session in a row today, adding to Wednesday’s gains and managing well to keep the trade around 1.1400 the figure for the time being.
Tuesday’s bearish ‘outside day’ still remains in play, although the pair needs to regain recent tops around 1.1470 and above to allow for a re-test of the 1.1500 neighbourhood.
On the downside, the 1.1369/52 band should offer initial support, where converge weekly lows and the 21-, 10-day SMAs.
