EUR/USD needs to overcome the 1.1360 hurdle to see further gains

EUR/USD has climbed back above 1.1300 after falling sharply to mid-1.1200s late Tuesday. The pair needs to claim 1.1360 to extend recovery, according to FXStreet’s Eren Sengezer.

Key resistance seems to have formed around 1.1360

“Powell will testify before the House Financial Services Committee later in the day and he is unlikely to change his tone regarding the policy outlook. Although the dollar could show resilience against its rivals on hawkish policy outlook, the fact that the US Dollar Index retreated sharply following the initial upsurge suggests that EUR/USD's losses are likely to remain limited.”

“Strong resistance seems to have formed around 1.1360, where the Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of November's downtrend meets the 100-period SMA. In case buyers manage to flip that level into support, additional gains toward 1.1400 (Fibonacci 50% retracement) and 1.1450 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement) could be witnessed.”

“1.1300/1.1290 (psychological level, Fibonacci 23.6% retracement, 20-period SMA) aligns as initial support before 1.1260 (50-period SMA) and 1.1235 (Tuesday low).”
