FX.co ★ EUR/USD: critical levels on 9 February, 2022

EUR/USD rose toward 1.1450 earlier in the day but lost a portion of its daily gains in the early American session. The US Dollar Index is recovering from daily lows, making it difficult for the pair to regain its traction. Investors await the 10-year US Treasury note auction.

EUR/USD keeps meeting buyers around the 23.6% retracement of its latest daily run at 1.1395, the immediate support level. The daily chart indicates that bulls retain control despite lacking conviction. The pair continues to hover around a bearish 100 SMA, while the 20 SMA has lost its bullish strength below the current level, converging with a Fibonacci support level at around 1.1340. Technical indicators remain within positive levels, the Momentum heading higher but the RSI directionless around 59.

The 4-hour chart offers a neutral technical stance. The pair is battling with a flat 20 SMA while above also directionless 100 and 200 SMAs. Technical indicators, in the meantime, lack directional strength, with the Momentum stuck around its midline and the RSI currently at 61. Bulls could have better chances if the pair overcomes the 1.1480 region, where it stalled its advance twice in the last couple of weeks.

Support levels: 1.1395 1.1340 1.1305
