EUR/USD price technical analysis: Bullish momentum

EUR/USD price

Technically, the EUR/USD pair rallied after failing to retest the median line (ML) of the ascending pitchfork. Now, it has taken out the 1.0364 resistance and confirmed more gains ahead. As long as it stays above 1.0364, the currency pair could extend its growth. The ascending pitchfork’s upper median line (UML) and the R1 (1.0510) represent upside obstacles and potential targets. The median line (ML) represents dynamic support, so the bias remains bullish as long as it stays above it.

Still, after its strong rally, we cannot exclude a minor retreat. The price could test the 1.0364 before resuming its growth. Consolidating above this level could bring new longs.
