The 1-hour chart depicts the EUR/USD pair faded the upward move, around the 1.1324 area, nearby the November 26 high at 1.1331, retreated towards the 1.1310s. It is worth noticing that the last four 1-hour candles, rejected around 1.1320, leaving the aforementioned as solid resistance. However, the 50-hour simple moving average (SMA) at 1.1308 would help EUR bulls to keep the pair within the 1.1308-20 range.
To the upside, the first resistance would be 1.1320. A breach of the latter would expose the R1 daily pivot at 1.1331, followed by the December 9 high at 1.1345.
On the flip side, the confluence of the double-zero, the 200-hour SMA, and the central daily pivot around 1.1300-05 are the first support. In the event of breaking lower, the immediate support would be the 100-hour SMA at 1.1294, followed by the December 9 cycle low at 1.1278.
