The 52-day moving average is capping the upside, indicating an overall trend of selling EUR and buying USD.

The pair has rebounded twice from 1.033USD. A third test of this level may occur if the price challenges it again.

Day trading strategy (1 hour)

Analyzing the 1-hour chart for EURUSD, today’s market remains quiet due to the Christmas holidays, making price movements hard to predict.
