EUR/USD held up at SMA support
EUR/USD has been turning lower from trendline support over the past 24 hours, with the pair seeking to continue the pullback following the late-August rebound. This move lower is likely to continue, yet with the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) on the four-hour chart below, we have a key hurdle to overcome.
Given the recent respect of this moving average, it makes sense to await a break and closed candle below that level as a signal of further downside. Conversely, a break above $1.1650 would point towards a resurgence for the pair.
