EUR/USD Technical Analysis

The Euro gained bearish momentum after it broke the 1.1500 support against the US Dollar. EUR/USD even traded below the 1.1400 support to enter a bearish zone.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the pair even settled below the 1.1350 zone, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours).

The pair even traded below the 1.1320 support zone. A low is formed near 1.1249 and the pair is now consolidating losses.

On the upside, the pair is facing resistance near 1.1315. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1374 swing high to 1.1249 low. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near 1.1320 on the same chart.

A clear break above the 1.1315 and 1.1320 resistance levels could open the doors for more gains. The next key resistance could be 1.1400.
