EURUSD analysis
EURUSD is consolidating between the 50- and 200-MA on the H4 timeframe. Recently, the pair bounced off the 50-MA. Thus, we expect a decline today to 1.0830. In case the price declines below 1.0830, the next target will be at 1.0780.
However, we need to mention that the breakout of the 50-MA will open the way to 1.0920 and 1.1010.
