EUR/USD levels to watch

The pair is now up 0.07% at 1.1272 and a breakout of 1.1357 (high Aug.23) would aim for 1.1434 (high Jun.24) and finally 1.1466 (high Apr.12). On the other hand, the immediate support aligns at 1.1242 (low Aug.24) followed by 1.1228 (2014-2016 support line) and finally 1.1179 (38.2% Fibo of May-June drop).
