The Sunday Market Open got filled with gaps and while most of them have been tested by retracting prices, all markets are still trading at different levels compared to the Friday close. EUR/USD wasn’t left out.
There has been a theme of covering selling positions against the US Dollar and this surely started to take place through last week as the Dollar Index hit a 97.69 low.
We have witnessed some swift changes to mid-May and beginning-June Forex flows as Dollar selling resumed and EUR/USD went to 1.1140 to highs of 1.1610 in the same period.
War market flows have officially put the USD back in the conversation; therefore, an analysis to spot levels of interest in the most traded forex pair amid this newfound volatility is now-due.

EUR/USD rejected the 1.1630 highs after consolidating throughout the past weeks around this key level.
The formation of a divergence on the Daily RSI has provided some underlying weakness in the previous upmove which led to some correction, particularly after last week’s FED Meeting.
Buyers had used the 20-Day Moving Average to bring the pair back into the 1.1520 to 1.1573 Main Resistance Zone.
The Daily 50 (1.1350) and 200 (1.0850) MAs are still a few handles below, leaving some space for correction in a strong selling scenario for the pair – The scenario is however, still out of the current picture.

Mean-reversion buying as created a strong bullish 4H candle pointing towards a test of the Main Resistance.
Sellers had failed to hold below the 1.1450 overnight gap support lows which led to a decent rally post-consolidation, currently heading to levels above the overnight gap-fill.
Momentum is strong with the RSI going back above the neutral zone and immediately breaking above the 4H MA 50. A push back below the key moving average would give back the hand to sellers.

The Hourly candle is closing just off its highs as prices are now entering the 1.1550 Pivot Zone (+/- 100 pip) in confluence with a test of the Mid-May upwards trendline.
Buyers would need to keep pushing above the trendline to test the 1.16 psychological resistance.
A failure to do so would attract sellers towards a retest of the overnight lows, and a further break points towards the 1.14 Psychological level.
Safe Trades!
