EURUSD is rangebound. The pause in the downtrend still appears to be a bear flag formation. This is a bearish continuation pattern that also highlights a shallow correction and reinforces the current trend direction. Furthermore, moving average studies remain in a bear mode set-up. A resumption of weakness would open 1.0454, the Feb 22 2017 low. Watch resistance at 1.0657, the 20-day EMA.
