EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Surges through a key descending trend-line resistance
• The recovery in risk sentiment was seen weighing heavily on the USD and driving the pair higher for the second consecutive session on Tuesday.
• The pair jumped back above the two key hourly moving averages (100 & 200-hour SMA) and finally managed to break through a short-term descending trend-line resistance.
• Technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have started gaining positive momentum and hence, a sustained move beyond mid-1.1600s would now be seen as a key trigger for bullish traders.
