EUR/USD 30-minute chart

The market is trading below its main SMAs suggesting a bearish bias in the short term. The market challenged the 1.1160 support but found no acceptance so far. A break below this level is necessary to reach 1.1140 and 1.1110 to the downside. A break above 1.1180 would probably see the currency pair re-entering the range we saw in the last weeks of trading. Resistance is at 1.1200 and 1.1220 level.
