EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Minor pullback could be on the cards

  • The bearish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI) seen on the EUR/USD hourly chart favors a minor pullback.
  • Interestingly, the four-day winning streak is showing signs of exhaustion near 1.1610 - a level which marks the confluence of the 50-day MA and the trendline sloping downwards from the April 19 high and July 31 high.
  • That said, the 5-day and 10-day moving averages (MAs) are trending north in favor of the bulls, so the minor pullback could be short-lived.
