EURUSD is facing 1.1823 support. A breakdown below this level will indicate the short term uptrend from 1.1662 had completed at 1.2070 already, then the following downside move could take price to test 1.1662 key support. On the upside, as long as 1.1823 support holds, the fall from 1.2070 would possibly be correction of the uptrend, and further rise towards 1.2165 is still possible after the correction.

EURUSD formed a sideways consolidation in a trading range between 1.1823 and 1.2092. Key support is now at 1.1823, as long as this level holds, the price action in the range could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend from 1.0569 (Apr 10 low). Another rise could be expected after the consolidation and a break above 1.2092 resistance could trigger another rise towards 1.2165. However, a downward break of 1.1823 support would suggest that the uptrend had competed at 1.2092 already, then the pair would fall down to next support level at 1.1662.
