EUR/USD daily chart

From a daily perspective, the price is trapped between the W-formation and the M-formation’s necklines. A break of their of these areas would likely encourage flow into the direction of the price action and potentially lead to a breakout one way or another. 1.1250 and 1.1303 are support and resistance. Given that the lows of the day was 1.1227, there is a bias to the downside for the upcoming sessions. 

EUR/USD hourly charts

The price has formed a W-formation on the hourly time frame, as seen more clearly on a line chart as follows:

The W-formation is a reversion and bearish chart pattern. The price would be expected to move in on the neckline of the W-formation. This has a correlation with the 61.8% Fibonacci of the latest bullish hourly impulse near to 1.1245.  A break there opens risk of a run towards 1.1202, or the -61.8% retracement of the recent bullish correction’s range.
