The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the 1.1240 low to 1.1363 high is also near the 1.1300 support along with the 50 hourly simple moving average. Any further losses may perhaps lead the pair towards the 1.1250 support zone.

On the upside, there is a major barrier for the bulls near the 1.1380 level, above which EUR/USD could rally significantly above the 1.1400 level in the near term.
