EUR/USD hourly chart's review

A move below the 1.0550 mark might encounter additional support in the 100-hour simple moving average, before approaching the 1.0500 mark. Below the round exchange rate level, note the low level zone at 1.0472/1.0492.

However, a recovery of the Euro against the US Dollar is expected to test the resistance zone at 1.0572/1.0593 and the 200-hour simple moving average. Afterwards, the post-Federal Reserve rate hike high levels could act as resistance at 1.0626/1.0642. Meanwhile, take into account that by large the pair has been ignoring the support and resistance of the weekly simple pivot point at 1.0609 and the 1.0600 mark.
