- EUR/USD trades near 1.0850 after closing the previous week marginally higher.
- Immediate resistance for the pair aligns at 1.0860.
- Fed Chairman Powell will testify later in the week and ECB will conduct policy meeting.
EUR/USD benefited from the broad-based selling pressure surrounding the US Dollar (USD) on Friday and closed the week with small gains. The pair holds steady at around 1.0850 early Monday and the near-term technical outlook points to a bullish tilt.
Risk flows dominated the action in financial markets ahead of the weekend and made it difficult for the USD to find demand. US stock index futures trade mixed in the European morning, pointing to a cautious market stance that limits the pair’s upside.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the 4-hour chart holds comfortably above 50 and EUR/USD closed the last five 4-hour candles above the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), reflecting the bullish bias.
On the upside, the Fibonacci 38.2% retracement level of the latest downtrend aligns as immediate resistance at 1.0860. The pair tested this week several times in the second half of February but failed to make a 4-hour close above it. Once 1.0860 is confirmed as support, 1.0900-1.0910 (psychological level, Fibonacci 50% retracement) could be seen as next bullish target before 1.0940 (static level).
1.0820 (200-period SMA) forms first support on the downside before 1.0800 (100-period SMA, Fibonacci 23.6% retracement) and 1.0760 (static level).
