EUR/USD hourly chart's review
Take into account that the 1.1800 level's resistance was set to be strengthened by the 55-hour simple moving average and the weekly S2 simple pivot point at 1.1808. If these levels provide resistance, the rate would resume its decline and test first the support of the 1.1760 level and afterwards the weekly S3 pivot point at 1.1741.On the other hand, in the case of the resistance failing, the pair would most likely look for resistance in the 1.1850 level and the 100-hour simple moving average.
