"The hourly chart shows indicators retracing from their midlines, while 100 and 200 SMA’s converge around 101.50, offering now immediate resistance," comments Valeria Bednarik from FXStreet. "In the 4 hours chart indicators stand in negative territory but directionless, while price develops below moving averages, all of which keeps the pressure to the downside."

If the pair extends recovery above 101.40, next resistances would be at 101.50 and 101.75. On the downside, supports are at 101.20, 101.05 and 100.80.
