The EUR/USD broke resistance of moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point on Wednesday. The following surge reached the December 1 high levels at 1.1355/1.1360, before starting a decline. By the middle of Thursday's trading, the rate had reached the weekly simple pivot point at 1.1313.

In the meantime, take into account that the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages were approaching the weekly simple pivot point. The SMAs could provide additional support and cause a surge.

EUR/USD hourly chart's review

A potential surge of the Euro against the US Dollar would most likely once again test the resistance of the 1.1355/1.1360 level. If the currency exchange rate moves higher, the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 1.1390 might stop the EUR/USD.

On the other hand, a decline of the currency pair below the weekly simple pivot point and the simple moving averages near 1.1300 might result in the rate looking for support as low as the 1.1250 mark, the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.1242 and the low level zone at 1.1228/1.1236.
