EUR/USD hourly chart's review

If the 1.1763 level fails to provide support and would be passed, the rate could reach for the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.1722. Afterwards, the 1.1700 mark might be reached, if the pivot point does not provide support.

On the other hand, if the resistance of the SMA fails, a potential surge could be stopped by the 1.1800 level. In the case of the 1.1800 mark not providing resistance, the EUR/USD would most likely reach the 100-hour SMA near 1.1810.
