EUR/USD hourly chart

If the pair declines below 0.9900, the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 0.9878 might slow down a decline. Further below, the 0.9850 level could act as support, before the rate reached the combination of the 0.9800 mark and the weekly S2 simple pivot point.

On the other hand, a recovery of the Euro against the US Dollar could encounter resistance in the 0.9950 level, the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages near 0.9970, the weekly simple pivot point at 0.9984. Only after breaching all these levels, the pair would approach the 1.0000 mark and the 200-hour SMA near 1.0020.
