In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar rose against the euro. The EUR/USD pair fell from 1.0567 to 1.0462, breaking below the support line formed by the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the hourly chart. Additionally, on the 4-hour chart, the pair is seen declining along the -2σ line of the Bollinger Bands.On the daily chart, the pair has pulled back after touching the 20-day moving average, so we will be watching for a continued rise in the U.S. dollar during European trading hours.
