Technical outlook
The EUR/USD is falling on Tuesday after rising during the previous four days. The very short-term outlook weakened of the euro. A consolidation below 1.1850 would expose the next support at 1.1825 and below attention would turn to 1.1800. The critical level is 1.1750, the monthly low that if broken, should clear the way to more losses.
On the upside, a close above 1.1900 would add momentum to the euro. The resistance stands at 1.1.920 followed by 1.1965.
