Moreover, there is a significant bullish trend line forming with support near 1.1450 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD. Therefore, dips are likely to find buyers near the 1.1485 and 1.1450 levels.

On the upside, the 1.1550 level is an immediate barrier for the bulls. If there is a clear break above the 1.1550 resistance, the pair is likely to accelerate higher towards the 1.1580 and 1.1600 levels.
