EURUSD bulls take a breather around the highest levels since early August, retreating to 1.0188 during Friday’s Asian session, as it pares the biggest daily jump in a week.
The nearly overbought RSI (14) and a failure to provide a daily closing beyond September’s high seemed to have triggered the major currency pair’s latest pullback amid a sluggish Asian session.
Even so, the quote remains well above the 1.0070 support confluence including the 100-day EMA and the resistance-turned-support line from early September.
In addition to the 1.0070 support, the 1.0000 psychological manget and a downward-sloping trend line from late June, currently around 0.9850, also act as additional challenges for the EURUSD bears.
Alternatively, a clear break of the September month high near 1.0200 becomes necessary for the pair’s fresh upside rally.
Following that, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of May-September downside, at 1.0310, could lure the EURUSD buyers.
However, a six-month-old horizontal resistance area around 1.0355-70 appears a tough nut to crack for the bulls afterward.
