EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Back to 1.1700 figure ahead of Fed’s Powell speech

  • EUR/USD is currently trying to find some support near 1.1700 after bulls challenged the 1.1740 level without being able to pierce through it.
  • EUR/USD bulls are still hanging above the 1.1700 level and the 200-period simple moving average. A strong bear breakout below the level should open the gates to 1.1672 June 27 high and 1.1640-1.1649 area, key level and July 12 low.  
  • Fed’s Powell speech at 13:45 GMT is likely going to provide much volatility.
