  • SUP 1: 1.1472 20-day EMA
  • SUP 2: 1.1332/1.1210 50-day EMA and a pivot level / Low May 29
  • SUP 3: 1.1131 Low May 16 
  • SUP 4: 1.1065 Low May 12 and a reversal trigger 

The trend set-up in EURUSD is unchanged, it remains bullish. Resistance and a bull trigger at 1.1631, the Jun 12 high,  has been pierced confirming a resumption of the trend. This opens 1.1685, a Fibonacci retracement. Key short-term support to watch lies at 1.1472, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to signal scope for a deeper retracement that would expose the 50-day EMA, at 1.1332.
