The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0830 low to 1.0890 high is also near the 1.0860 level to provide support. Therefore, dips in EUR/USD are likely to remain supported.
Any further losses could push the pair back into a bearish zone towards the 1.0820 and 1.0800 support levels. Conversely, the pair could bounce back from 1.0860 or 1.0850.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near the 1.0880 level. A clear break above the 1.0880 and 1.0900 levels could open the doors for a larger recovery towards the 1.0950 level.
