The EUR/USD exchange rate is retracing back towards the vicinity of 1.0980 after touching a 15-week high just above 1.1000, supported by an increase in risk appetite across the broader market, causing the US Dollar to depreciate and fall into the red against all major currencies on Tuesday.
The daily chart depicts EUR/USD trading around the opening level, despite reaching a weekly high. The pair is still attempting to surpass the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from 1.1275 to 1.0447 at 1.0960, although the overall picture remains bullish. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is crossing above the flat 100-day SMA and is on the verge of crossing the undirected 200-day SMA, all within the range of 1.0790/1.0810. Meanwhile, technical indicators remain positive, although lacking directional strength.
The 4-hour chart reveals buyers defending the downside trend around the slightly ascending 20-day SMA, currently at 1.0930. The longer-term moving averages maintain their upward slopes, significantly lower than the shorter-term averages, indicating buyer control. Lastly, technical indicators have lost directional strength but still remain higher than the midline, reflecting a lack of selling pressure.
Support levels: 1.0930, 1.0895, 1.0860
Resistance levels: 1.0960, 1.1005, 1.1045
