However, the pair found a strong support near the 1.2135 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 1.2091 low to 1.2179 high.

There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near 1.2140 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD. The pair is now trading nicely above 1.2140 and the 50 hourly simple moving average. If there is a downside break below the trend line support, there could be a sharp decline below 1.2120.

The next key support is near the 1.2100 level, below which EUR/USD could decline towards the 1.2040 support. Conversely, the pair could rise further above 1.2180.

A successful break above the 1.2180 and 1.2200 resistance levels could lead the pair towards the 1.2250 and 1.2280 levels in the near term.

The pair traded close to the 0.9065 level and traded as high as 0.9064. It is currently consolidating gains and trading nicely above 0.9050. An initial support is near the 0.9048 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the 0.8951 swing low to 0.9064 high.

The next major support on the downside is near the 0.9025 zone (the recent breakout zone). The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the 0.8951 swing low to 0.9064 high is also near 0.9029.

Any more losses may possibly lead the pair towards the 0.9000 support zone. On the upside, the pair is facing resistance near the 0.9065 level.
