Recently, the pair started an upside correction after forming a support base near the 1.1110 level. There was a break above the 1.1140 resistance and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

The pair surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1187 high to 1.1101 low. Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near 1.1140 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD.

The pair tested the 1.1160 resistance plus the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1187 high to 1.1101 low. It is currently consolidating in a range and it seems like there could be more gains above the 1.1160 and 1.1180 resistance levels.

On the downside, the 1.1140 level and the 50 hourly SMA might provide support. If there is a close below the 1.1140 support, the pair is likely to resume its downtrend.
