EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro drops to key 1.1730 level ahead of FOMC on Wednesday

  • EUR/USD bulls gave up some ground in the American session and the single currency dropped to 1.1733 as it tested last Friday’s low and the 50-period simple moving average (4h).  
  • 1.1730 is a key support (23.6% Fibonacci retracement from the mid-April-May bear move) and a previous resistance level; a strong breakout below the level should see EUR/USD bear trend resume.
  • On the other hand, if bulls reclaim the 1.1850 level it would invalidate the bearish scenario.
