EUR/USD looks cautious around 1.0760/70 amidst alternating risk appetite trends at the beginning of the week.

In case bears regain the upper hand, the pair could slip back to the provisional 55-day SMA near 1.0730 ahead of the minor support at 1.0712 (low March 24). A deeper retracement could extend to the 100-day SMA, today at 1.0621.

Looking at the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA, today at 1.0333.
