EUR/USD technical analysis

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair cleared a major bearish trend line with resistance at 1.0725. There was a move above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.0852 swing high to the 1.0666 low.

However, the pair is now facing resistance near the 1.0760 zone and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour). The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.0852 swing high to the 1.0666 low is also acting as a resistance.

The next resistance sits at 1.0800 and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). A clear move above the 1.0800 resistance might send it toward the 1.0850 level.

Any more gains might open the doors for a test of the 1.0920 zone in the coming days. Immediate support is near the 1.0730 level. The next major support is near the 1.0700 level. A downside break and close below the 1.0700 support zone could open the doors for a larger decline. In the stated case, the pair could decline toward the 1.0665 level.
