According to the 1-hour chart, key levels for EUR/USD are following: 1.2340, 1.2308, 1.2287, 1.2238, 1.2190, 1.2170, 1.2137, 1.2099, and 1.2076. The price is making a downward correction which began on January 7. However, analysts reckon prospects for the bullish momentum. The pair will resume its climb after 1.2238 is broken with the target at 1.2287. The price is going to make a short-term rise in the corridor of 1.2287 – 1.2308 consolidating gains. The ultimate upward target is seen at 1.2340. Once this target is reached, the price will consolidate and retrace downwards.

A short-term downward move is possible in the corridor of 1.2190 – 1.2170. If the latter is broken, this will open the door further downwards with the first target of 1.2137. If the level of 1.2135 is broken, it will activate a bearish move with the target of 1.2076. Once this level is reached, the pair will consolidate in the corridor of 1.2099 – 1.2076.

The overall trend is bearish which has been going on since January 7. The pair is making a downward correction.
