EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Consolidating gains below 1.1700 ahead of German inflation

  • EUR/USD broke above the 1.1672 resistance level and has gained about 30 pips in the early European session. The 50-period simple moving average (SMA) broke above the 200 SMA, while the 100 SMA is about to do so, suggesting building bullish momentum.
  • The 1.1700 figure is likely going to be the decisive level to break if bulls want to extend the bull leg towards 1.1730-1.1750 area. Supports to the downside are likely located near 1.1640-1.1649 area and 1.1600-1.1613 zone. Bulls  currently have an advantage while above  1.1600-1.1613 area.
  • Investors are going to focus on the  preliminary reading of the German Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices at 12:00 GMT which is likely going to lead to volatility.
