EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro bulls defending the 1.1530 level ahead of FOMC minutes


  • EUR/USD is trading in a bear leg below its 200-period simple moving average (SMA) ahead of the FOMC minutes released at 18:00 GMT. 
  • EUR/USD bulls are currently holding the price above 1.1530 key level and near the 50 SMA but the RSI, MACD and Stochastic have turned bearish, suggesting that the path of least resistance might be to the downside.
  • However, investors must be aware that everything can change with the release of the FOMC minutes later this Wednesday.
