The EURUSD has been fluctuating around its 200-hour moving average at 1.13456 in today’s trading but continues to hold above the rising 100-hour moving average at 1.13281—giving buyers a modest technical advantage. A break below the 100-hour moving average would be needed to tilt the bias more firmly to the downside.
As long as the pair holds above that level, attention turns to the upside. Immediate resistance lies near the trendline around 1.1385, followed by the April 30 high at 1.14027 and then the high from last week at 1.14238.
