Acceptance below the 100-hour Ma could invite more selling. Don’t forget we have already seen a rising wedge breakdown. The pattern indicates the corrective bounce from...

The pair has moved above 1,1214, but is not out of the woods yet as the lower highs pattern is still intact. The bulls need to violate that pattern with a move above 1.1263. That may entice fresh bids yielding a rise to 1.14.
EUR/USD broke out of the trendline from March 20 and April 17 highs on May 10.
