​​​EUR/USD digs into key resistance

EUR/USD is once again trying to break through its key $1.0461-to-$1.0533 resistance area. It needs to be bettered for a medium-term bullish reversal to be confirmed.

​Minor support is still seen along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.0397 and also at the 23 January low at $1.0372.

​Major support below last week's $1.0281 low remains to be seen at the January-to-February lows at $1.0224-to-$1.0178.

Minor resistance remains to be seen at the early February low at £0.8292 ahead of the 10 February low at £0.8310 and the 55-day SMA at £0.8328. Further up lies last week's £0.8352 high.
