The intraday spike in EURUSD reversed into the Tuesday close, showing rallies are still prone to pullbacks on any move higher. Prices remain above support at 1.0674, the 50-day EMA, for now. This represents a key short-term level and the recent move down is considered corrective. The Feb 7 price action is a doji candle pattern - a potential bullish reversal signal. A recovery would refocus attention on 1.1033, the Feb 2 high. A clear break of the 50-day EMA would instead strengthen the bearish cycle and expose 1.0634, the Jan 9 low.
