EUR/USD hourly chart's review

On Friday, the EUR/USD currency pair failed to exceed the 1.0840 level. During today's morning, the pair was trading in the 1.0810 area. 

Given that the exchange rate is pressured by the 55-, 100– and 200-hour SMAs in the 1.0800/1.0825 area, it is likely that some downside potential could prevail in the market. 

Note that the rate could gain support from the weekly and monthly S1s in the 1.0770 area. If the given support holds, it is likely that a reversal north could follow.

Hourly Chart



On the daily candle chart, the rate has bounced off the low level of April and March near the 1.0775 mark. This level strengthened the support of the monthly S1 simple pivot point. 

Note that the pair is pressured by the 55-, 100- and 200-day moving averages in the 1.0940/1.1020 range.
