EUR/USD hourly chart's review

The short term future depends on whether or not the support of the 55 and 100-hour simple moving averages provide support.

In the case of the SMAs managing to hold, the pair could test the resistance of the 1.2140 level, the 200-hour simple moving average at 1.2150 and the 1.2160 mark.

On the other hand, if the pair declines below the two SMAs and the 1.2100 level's psychological support, the rate could test the Monday's low level at 1.2055. However, take a look at the daily candle chart. The low level was provided with support by a technical level of that chart.
