EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Steadily recovers beyond 1.1200 handle but remains vulnerable, NFP in focus
• The pair built on its corrective bounce from 20-month lows and the recovery has been along a short-term trend-channel formation on the intraday charts.
• Given the previous session’s post-ECB slump, the channel constituted towards the formation of a bearish continuation flag pattern on the 1-hourly chart.
• Meanwhile, oscillators on hourly/daily charts have recovered from highly oversold conditions but remained in the bearish territory, suggesting more downside.
• A convincing break below the trend-channel support, currently near the 1.1200 handle, will reinforce the bearish set-up and trigger a fresh leg of downward momentum.
