EUR/USD technical picture

Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet, shared her view on EUR/USD technicals: "The intraday movement seems barely corrective, as the price held above the immediate short term support at 1.0730, and the 4 hours chart shows that the price is a few pips above a bullish 20 SMA, although technical indicators head south within positive territory, with the Momentum about to cross its mid-line towards the downside."

Valeria adds that "it would take a break below 1.0700 however, to confirm a downward move, while only beyond 1.0785, the pair will be able to regain its upward strength."
